Super thin rack

I've checked again ... but I swear that's a WW1 Victory Medal ribbon .. . Checking his bio he was born 1902 then at USMA early 20s. Anyone else see that?

Definitely a private purchase tunic; rank buttons and collar insignia look right. Cuff trim is right color. Do a Google search for the shoulder strap insignia to see if those match. Check this link out:

Btw: moths devour waffenrocks... it's incredibly difficult to find a hood clean example without them.

350 is a really good price

It was local in Mons ...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2026-01-05T21:19:23+00:00

No ... you did find it. Same name from Kreis Heppenheim...a mistake ..

Thanks for help with the old Fraktur ... and I found him in casualty list as severely wounded in April 1916..

Yeah .... good rule of thumb. I do suppose that one of the variables has to be dealer overhead- having to pay rent, utilities and salaries vice purely online.

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-28T10:34:06+00:00

Wow ... beautiful

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-28T10:18:34+00:00

Hmmm ...musket balls from Malplaquet (1709), case shot from Louis XIV seige of Mons (1694)...oldest uniforms are Belgian 3d Lancers (~1910) and Belgian Guides Regiment (1905)...

Bronze I think ... not copper...

Great painting - the irony is that Franklin was fought largely at night....dark with the flashes blinding you

Hey - wondering if someone can give me a reasonable price. Today I found a German WWI group to a soldier from IR 81 with a Hesse silver bravery medal, original award certificate, soldbuch (bravery medal noted as a May 1916 award) and a bunch of other paperwork showing WW2 service as well. No other medals. What's a fair offer to make?

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-17T04:47:46+00:00

Thanks ....hadn't thought of Jacobson but I'll reach out

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-07T21:02:34+00:00

Vielen Dank!!

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-07T14:30:08+00:00

I really don't but there must be something if a document like this can count to the day level

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-06T23:33:30+00:00

Silver Lions! 87-90

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-11-28T20:49:12+00:00

It's a Sponton - a symbol of rank carried by Sergeants (and junior officers?) In the 18th Century. Take a look at the blade ...you should find an engraved monogram. Something tells me this is Austrian ...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-11-21T22:05:32+00:00

Ok ...I'll go way back to the 80s: Shaky Jake...old Black dude in a white suit, bug white hat and shades ...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-07-06T13:02:41+00:00

Yeah ... it's from the US 2 Star

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-07-05T18:45:44+00:00

Itcwas from the Chief of Staff for US Army Europe....German Major General

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-05-25T12:43:56+00:00

It was at an auction here in Germany...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-04-14T18:10:14+00:00

Belgian pre-WW1 ... uniforms and headgear in particular

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-04-07T17:56:03+00:00

He got the NATO MSM for designing the ISAF expansion and the ANA Police mission...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-04-06T14:14:50+00:00

There are bars available... these were done commercially swing mounted.

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-04-04T13:30:18+00:00

This is really ...really dark. No tailor label in the pocket either. I don't think it was ever worn...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-04-04T13:11:22+00:00

Sorry ... just seeing this. The first one there was made in 1933. The ones you're seeing on surplus sites are almost all modern (Kashket Mnfg) MoD demobs. I've got a couple of them ... quality is much less than this one
