Hello David,
I am once again blown away by the expressiveness of your collection.
You make the glorious old British Army shine again. I enjoy every presentation you make and personally consider this an educational book on British Army headgear.
Furthermore, I am always amazed at the quality of the individual exhibits.
Allow me to ask you how you always manage to find such exhibits for your collection in the world.
Best regards
Frank
Hi, Frank!!
How marvelous to receive your note!
THANK YOU so much for your very generous and always positive and enthusiastic replies to my posts. I am thrilled you are following my posts and continue to enjoy my collection and the newest pieces of history as I add them to my collection. I have always strived to add only the best examples of a particular piece to add to my collection... I have always stayed away from incomplete or damaged pieces for my collection and will remain patient until the "
right" piece presents itself and then I do my due diligence and research and, hopefully as much as I can, the provenance of the piece before making a purchase.
I have, over the years, developed and continue to nurture a small intimate, reliable, trusted and knowledgeable network of like-minded collectors and militaria dealers who know the quality I demand for an item to be in my collection and will search out items for my collection or that I can share my "wants" list with or might have in their possession, in their collections or store inventory a particular item and are willing to pass those pieces on to me. I reside in the United States and purchase almost exclusively from persons in the United Kingdom and rely on pictures and e-mails and the integrity of the person I am purchasing from. I hope this answers your question.
Again, thank you for your very kind, very generous comments and observations regarding my collection. I am glad to know that you are enjoying the pictures and the posts and find them interesting as well as informative!!
Always a pleasure to hear from you!
My very best regards,
David
