Two of my fave images of Leib-Husaren NCOs - I *think* I see cyphers in both, so 2LHR2? Both are full of character, and the top one is evidently wartime - I see an EK2 ribbon and what looks like another one as well. (And I am always on the lookout for caps just like these, if anyone comes...

In the spirit of "it never hurts to ask," I am actively looking for a few specific helmets. Officer-grade preferred, to include OYV/Fahnrich examples (which I'm especially fond of). Quality and condition is very important to me. If you have anything you'd consider parting with - please hit me...

4th Kürassier Regiment Cap: Private-purchase mütze for a trooper in Kürassier-Regiment „von Driesen“ (Westfälisches) Nr. 4. Beautiful, high-quality white doeskin wool body with bright red band and piping (the same color scheme as the Regiment der Gardes du Corps). Excellent Prussian and national...

Officer’s Feldgrau Überzeug Pickehaube Cover: Nice example of the officer version of the field gray spiked helmet cover, able to accommodate a tall spike. One of the internal stiffeners is cracked from use, but invisible and doesn’t affect the use or the look of the cover. A few spots of wear...

I am pretty sure Mr. Kube uses DHL for US shipments, as do most auctions and dealers I interact with in the EU region. https://www.dhl.com/us-en/home/important-information/2025/shipments-to-the-united-states-with-a-customs-value-exceeding-usd-800.html

Sharing an interesting little grouping that appears show the same gent from the Leib-Garde-Husaren Regiment at different stages of his career. Full dress: The same image in both a service remembrance card frame, and as a hand-colored CDV: Finally, and interesting piece from a different...

Anyone have experience with these guys? They seem like one of the bigger and more reputable auction houses, especially for orders and decorations, but for some reason I can't get an email response from them the last few auctions. I keep wondering if it's on my end (but nothing trapped in my...

Looking for an original Kolpak for the officer Pelzmütze: Red, Golden Yellow, or Cornflower Blue. Please PM in the unlikely event you have one to sell!

Seems like a great price for so many original kokarden. I hear the hand-painted vinyl ones are especially hard to find these days... https://www.ebay.de/itm/335558509399

Greetings friends - Please keep me in mind if you are selling high-quality, pre-war Imperial German cloth cavalry headgear. I am happy to look at anything, especially of exceptional quality, but some current key wants include: "Tradition" badged regiments: 1LHR1, 2LHR2, HR17, and especially...

Might have been posted here previously - but this little item from a mainstream webcomic aimed at runners is a fun one. 😺

Fiddling around with a new background today...and doing some groupings (admittedly, the NCO lance pennant is marked to UR19 - but close enough!).

Looking for a few original zinc/metal washers to make up for a handful of missing ones in private-purchase helmets. If anybody has a few to spare, happy to pay for the washers and shipping. Thanks!

Württemberg Field Artillery Reserve Officer Beautiful Kugelhelm for a reserve officer of one of the few Württemberg field artillery regiments (FARs 13, 29, 49, or 65). Excellent form and finish, tight stitching, with a still-shiny shell and beautiful gilded fitting. Very nice wappen with all...

Greetings friends. Doing some tuning and pruning in my collection, and wanted to offer this here first. Prussian Train Battalion Officer Beautiful c. 1914 officer’s helmet for one of the sixteen Prussian Train Battalions (1-11, 15-17, or 20-21). As battalions rather than regiments, each of...

I'm curious as to your thoughts and collective pickelhaube wisdom here, friends. This is a picture I was sent of the inside of a Dragoon officer helmet. While I have seen split pin attachments before, they have all had washers underneath the pins. The holes under the washers might be tighter...

Here's a weird situation that was shared with me - wondering if anyone else has seen this. An otherwise high-end looking Prussian officer helmet, but without a ventilation hole beneath the spike. It's something I've not seen before, but curious if anyone else has. And if it is a legit...

A reserve officer’s Schirmmütze and an eigentum Tellermütze for 3. Badisches Dragoner-Regiment Prinz Karl Nr.22, and a rakish reserve officer’s Schirmmütze for 1. Badisches Leib-Dragoner-Regiment Nr.20. Details of the kokarden. Two slight variations of the reserve cockade, with the...

Happy New Year friends - May 2024 be a safe, happy, healthy, and prosperous year for you and yours!

A lovely, larger-than-average cabinet photo of a dapper hussar NCO. Hard to tell what regiment, but the coloring is similar to HR8 images I have seen.
