Well Bruno ,on top of my wish list would be the Belgian kurassier with the big lions head, so if anyone knows one for sale [-o< …

 

[Khukri]

I have one in my collection marked V*, meaning 2nd Cuirassier Regiment.
Impressive with the horse tail and the lions head.
Both Regts where disbanded in 1863 to become Lancers Regiments.
Showed some pics in an earlier post (I think ....)

Ed,
unfortunately no Belgian cuiras ....
just the (avatar) 2nd Lancers OR Tschapka and the 2nd Cuirassier helmet.
The cuiras and helmet are Prussian. OR.
