Outstanding - thanks for sharing, James!

What Sander said! What a glorious set, beautifully displayed.

Congrats Dane! That one has a ton of character - would love to know that guy's story.

Pre-weekend sale price of $600 - same terms as above! 😺

This, 200%. It remains an everyday thing for me, and I imagine it will remain so. A true gentleman and an endless fountain of stories and knowledge, which he always shared generously. He was one of a kind.

Recently added this handsome fellow, so thought I'd extend the thread. Fahnrich for Kürassier-Regiment Kaiser Nikolas I. von Rußland (Brandenburgisches) Nr.6. The wearer's daddy had deep pockets as it's almost full officer grade, with the exception of the EM -style spike (albeit with a fancy...

On the original topic: I have been interested in military history as long as I can remember. As a kid, it was models and miniature figure painting, along with reading and researching. For whatever reason, the First World War has always fascinated me. The ruthless industrial scale of the...

I completely agree. It's dangerous to conflate "passion" with "addiction." Tons of people have hobbies or interested they are passionate about, and are still able to function normally and have well-rounded lives. I'd argue that pursuing such a passion, and being a lifelong learner as a...

Oh, the "Pro Gloria et Patria" guy? Thought that setup looked familiar. Thanks GIno!

Do you know who the dealer was with all the helmets displayed in hanging cloth boxes?

Beautiful ID’ed enlisted schirmmütze for a Dragoner Bosch in the Ersatz-Escadron of Dragoner-Regiment König (2. Württembergisches) Nr.26. bright blue body with golden yellow band and piping. The yellow is vibrant, which is scarce on caps from the period – it seems to be one of weakest hues and...

Consider it done.

Excellent, complete Hessian Dragoon “eigentum” EM helmet for either Garde-Dragoner-Regiment (1. Großherzoglich Hessisches) Nr.23 or Leib-Dragoner-Regiment (2. Großherzog Hessisches) Nr.24, the only two Hessian cavalry regiments. Very solid body with great form and firm stitching, symmetrical...

Wow what a gorgeous piece - congrats Dave! Thanks for sharing.

Hooray on the book - and holy cow what a gorgeous display Bob!

I'm also partial to Orval and Westmalle...both super hard to find, especially in our weird state of Pennsylvania. 🍻

Great article Peter...I can totally relate. My poor wife has pointed out more than once that maybe online tracking info does more harm than good (to me), especially when I obsess over a mysterious lack of movement here or there.

Great addition Coert! And I love your display. I agree with Sander...almost time for expansion shelves. 😺

Solidarity, brothers. Just ordered mine and I now await...the wait.

Great helmet! And an outstanding cat - Himalayan? 😺
