Very cool photo! I assume this is from your personal collection?

Excellent work, Peter! It looks great!

Congrats on the new helmet, Gorik!

Glad to see you found the forum and the information you needed on this helmet!

Another stunning mitre! Thanks for sharing!

Great helmet Coert. The best helmets are those that show a bit of character! I’ve personally never cared much about acquiring mint steel helmets.

Lovely grouping, wouldn’t mind seeing more haha

It sort of looks like there is a “u” in the first word, so “J*u*b”? Thats just what it looks like to me.

Spectacular piece, Alan! Congrats!

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the list! I’ll make sure to look into these.

Awesome! I’m starting to think Zeb has already broken into the French Army Museum before… these specimens are top tier!

These colonial hats are awesome, Zeb!

Congrats on graduating and acquiring a very nice M16!

Do you have any recommendations for books on swords and buttons? I’m currently only collecting Napoleonic buttons, but I am looking to move into swords soon. I think I’ll start with the common sabre briquet, but I hope to acquire some higher-end specimens like a dragoon sword later on.

Very cool! So it is partially original to the Napoleonic period! That is about as close you can get to owning an original without breaking into the French Army Museum’s display cases 😂

It is true that original shakos from the period are almost impossible to come by, which is why I’m hesitant to refer to it as a true Napoleonic shako just yet. After all there are shakos made for Napoleon’s funeral procession and centennial reproductions are all floating around on the market...

Thats what I thought, Napoleonic! That would automatically make it my favorite of all Zeb’s pieces haha

WOW! I can't wait to see this cabinet once its done! What era is that French(?) shako on the far right from?

lovely mutze. congrats!
