Apologies in advance to all who may be offended but what's with all the drama and subterfuge? May all those collectors who have passed on rest in peace but at the end of the day death will come for us all. I will be the first to say screw what my family may ask when I am no longer around. I...

Very nice Amy!!! Well done! John

Charles, What a fantastic collection! Simply breath taking. I can't thank you enough for sharing all your treasures with us! John

Cbebon, The better question would be "Is there anything right with it?" Just as Louis very aptly pointed out, it's 100% fake. Just to be clear, the wappen is a very crude fake. It is poorly manufactured. All the metal pieces suffer from the same issue. If you google "Baden pickelhaube" you...

I am so jealous!!!!! Fantastic!!!!! Me wants, me wants!! LOL!

This means there are 19 people out there that would buy a slightly used Russian Missle cruiser that has been converted into a submarine... It's a great price! Fire sale!

Guys...there never was a Wurttemberg Kurassier regiment. Complete con job... If I saw a vendor trying to sell that crap for any thing more that the price of the shell I would admonish him for trying to rip people off. I wouldn't trust a thing he was peddling.

Glenn, Kyle and Bill, I cannot thank you all enough for helping me and sharing your knowledge about Herr Dautzenberg. You are all gentlemen and scholars! Admiringly, John

While it's a very nice story, I believe it's just that. There is no doubt that JzP Lt. Mayer was the 1st German casualty he would not have been wearing an EM Kurrasier Helmet. So we can rule that out right off the bat. I believe that Private Sambrooks account is true but who knows how this...

I was under the impression that there was a regulation (unsure if was written or unwritten) for Uhlans, that the helmet was to be worn at an angle with the left visor side trim at 1 finger width above the left eyebrow. This regulation did not apply when chinscales were in use.

Ed!! That's an awesome picture!!! Love the guy with the sense of humor! Vive Napoleon! John

This needs to be bumped back up because it's absolutely jaw dropping beautiful!!! Me wants!!!!

Excellent research Tony! Extremely clear and concise! This really explains the 30 year absence of Landwehr wappens! Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and making us a little smarter! John

13th Uhlans! A light brushing, couple of stitches hereand there and it would be in perfect condition to display! That's a $1k ulanka right there!!!! :p

What a fantastic set! Beautiful!!!

Unless that thread is holding the sleeve to the rest of the waffenrock you should remove it. It's going to tear the wool. Perhaps it was placed there to display the tunic.
