I recently visited this collection to see the museum of the Suffolk and Norfolk Yeomanry Regiments. However, the bulk of the collection contains tanks, guns and other vehicles, many of the items in working order. These aren't really my thing but it's quite a collection with some very impressive...

There’s a round edge Reich’s kokarde on ebay France just now and Kpemig has a number of Saxon state kokarden.

Superb result!

It’s certainly unique!!!

Hi Bruno, Beautiful helmet. That cryptic ‘I found this’ begs a lot of questions. Don’t imagine it was quite that simple! Patrick

Hi Nick, Think you mean Prussian Reservist. Yes, sold, and money converted into a British heavy cavalry helmet of the type you’ve seen. I’m enjoying your photographs. Did you get moved? Patrick

Just a youngster, like me! Get well soon. Patrick

Here is a strong riposte to those who make light of this.

Peter, Thanks for posting this. What a brilliant film! It took me right back to making model WW1 planes 60+ years ago. Hats off to Peter Jackson. Patrick

Brian, I am very happy to pay $20 p.a., as I have been donating each year anyway. On a separate note, there seems to have been a sudden influx of new members, which is great. I wonder if something sparked this, or if it‘s just a strange coincidence. Patrick

Amy, that’s very sad news. I send my condolences. Patrick

Nick, You’re very welcome. Glad you’ve benefited already. Through being a member of this forum, I have learnt a lot, received great advice, avoided making some expensive mistakes, and been able to buy some great haubes. Apart from all this, it is a great community of courteous, intelligent and...

Nick, Glad you checked this out! Patrick
