Congrats Gino - a fantastic helmet! Agree with Bruno re: the label inside. 👍

Awesome display Coert! Nice to be surrounded by them in your computer space. 😺

Beautiful painting Olaf - Theodor Rocholl was absolutely masterful.

I love the Steinach-Verlag books (didn't see them on your shelves) - beautifully executed, IMO. Some of my favorites are below. Die militärischen Kopfbedeckungen 1869–1919 mit Polizei, Feuerwehr und Steuerwache covers Württemberg headgear. Their two books on officer helmets are just...

Outstanding - congrats! 👍 And I'm in the same boat as Bob.

I'll be curious to hear Tony's thoughts - he's the totenkopf guru (IR92 especially). I agree with Clovis that seeing the reverse of the TK and wappen would be ideal. To my eye, the wappen and TK seem oddly dark compared to the rest of the fittings - the Braunschweig kokarde might have been...

Oh that's a beauty Coert! 👍

Wow - if you don't mind sharing, what bank do you use Bruno? It's an in-person slow nightmare everywhere I've banked, some worse than others. Would love to just do it myself online.

Spectacular tunic Charles - and love the Chimay goblet! Gotta do it right.

Looking for 2-4 gilt stars for the the round officer spike base, with nuts - bonus if they include the zinc washer by some miracle. 😺

Holy cow Dave - those are just outstanding!

Super gorgeous helmet Bruno! I may be an outlier in that I prefer the clean lines and symmetry of the Strelitz version - and yours is just glorious in all respects.

Likewise. Hoping to pay on Monday, but man our country makes international wires a nightmare. And they are rare enough at my local bank that it is always a learning experience for whomever is doing it! 🤞

Nope - solidarity, brother! Yes FedEx is about the most solid shipper right now for us.

Same! I'm guessing that for understandable reasons US shipments are at the back of the line. Wonder if any US bidders received invoices yet? I chare Charles' concern with getting tangled in the Xmas rush. Fingers crossed!

Roger that - thanks Bob. Well, the FedEx part is good as FedEx seems to be able to navigate the current weirdness most effectively, probably because they have a good end-to-end process. I'm hoping no tariffs apply, if they document the pieces properly. 🤞

Huh. I was wondering the same thing, as I have not received anything. Bob: You're in the US too right? I'm wondering if our self-inflicted shipping/importing wackiness is a factor, and US invoices are lagging?

Sold! Thanks friends.

Let's try $2700 - same terms as above. 😺
