Be very careful folks. Apart from what Amy pointed out, both of those chickens have been re-soldered to the legs or at least appear that way from the photos.

Terrible news. Your knowledge and insight will be sorely missed. Godspeed and Semper Fi, John John

Back to the top. Any interest at $1695. Same conditions.

In the US and received my invoice. Usually, it takes Kube about a week and change to generate invoices. Check your Spam mail. There is also a possibility you and another buyer put in the same amount for a bid. Not sure how he handles ties.

Hello Everyone! I have a duplicate M15 Tschapka in my collection that I would like to offer up for sale. I am asking for $1795 US Dollars for it. That will include shipping to any of the contiguous 48 states. Shipping anywhere else will be at cost including full insurance. Description: I would...

Pawel, This is a waffenrock to the KR2 or KR4. It I almost impossible to know exactly because of the slight variations in shades of red. Since Officers clothing was all purchased individually there could be different shades of the same color in the same regiment. You should look for slip on...

My Officer's Pelisse:

Both illustrations show a chinstrap being used. Does this sidecap have any provisions for a chinstrap? I would definitely black light that white stitching in the interior of the cap.

WOW!!!! Just...absolutely...WOW!!! My hat is off to you Michael! You have taken the GzF display to another level, having both the helmet and mitre plus the white straps! I have not been lucky enough to find them so I am super thrilled you did! Congratulations on a jaw dropping display! John

You should ask for a lot more photos if you plan on purchasing this helmet. Ask for closeups of the Kammer stamps and the interior. You will also want side pictures and closeups of the eagle.

That is a correct private purchase French made sidecap. Looks a little thin on the outside but the inside looks brand new.

Wow!!! What a blade!!! Well done Sir!!! I am quite envious!

Very nice photo! In my opinion that's the armory where the photo was taken. As you can see that the LMG is missing it's top cover, feed block, barrel, and rear cover. If you also look at the soldier/airman on the left you can make out an MG-08 barrel cleaning tool hanging from the rack. Here...

What a fantastic find Karl!! Way to go! Thank you for sharing it with us! John

Folks, May I present something you probably may not have ever seen or will ever see again in a set of groupings. A completely new wappen and shoulderstraps to the same unit in the span of 15 years. On the left, we have a pre- January 24th 1899 Helmet and Waffenrock to a Sergeant in DR9 On the...

Steve, Okey Dokey. At the moment I am entirely too inebriated to take a picture of my sabertasche but feel free to take a look at this: https://www.hermann-historica.de/en/auctions/lot/id/39975 This is one of those moments I fondly recall where one of my extremely drunk friends at very dark...

Sorry to be the herald of bad news but thought you would prefer the unvarnished truth. While the sealskin covering and what looks to be the wicker body may have a shot at being original the rest of the busby needs to be put out of its misery. Look at the liner. There are obvious joining marks...

Sometimes the family will ask the auctioneers as one of their conditions to put up a bio or blurb about the collector in order to win the rights to buy/auction it. Some collectors like to remain in the shadows. Nothing wrong with it apart from us finding out about them/their collections when...

Hello Everyone, Looking to purchase a pair of wappen posts with retaining nuts. If you have a broken officers wappen that has the retaining nuts that would work. Please let me know. John
