Greetings fellow collectors.....It's been awhile!!!
E Williams replied to E Williams's topic in United States of America
No Chris...not interested in the getting the sword, had the saddle bags but they weren't needed for what I wanted display either. What you see is the finish display what I want to display on the rack. Stirrups I have also but too difficult for them on the saddle and rack also. I have a complete uniform also for a 1SG, 5th Cav Regt early 30s. -

Here is my McClellan on the back luggage rack....all items date from 1918-1935. The McClellan was surplus and never issued, 1918 dated, one original strap was missing, all other straps were still rolled up and stapled. Came from Ohio, an Amish saddler had it. -

Hello Michael..........my daughters feel they'll be able to rid them of a Model A inheritance better and faster than a bunch of Lugers.....I have to admit though, Sarah I can enjoy physically and putting her and military collecting together is also enjoyable. Back to researching everything I find. IrishGunner still around? -
All my WWI unit marked Lugers are gone and collection too....used the money to buy a 1931 Model A Ford. Thought I'd rejoined you since I've come across some interesting items putting together scenarios for display when I'm out and about with Sarah, which is what I named her. The display scenario I've been putting together recently is a US Cavalry NCO, 5th Cav Regt, on border patrol anytime from 1916 to 1935. I'll post photos a bit later......... Ed SO!! How is everybody???

Need advice about luger & holster
E Williams replied to dksck's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
Chances for putting together an exact match is few. As for increasing the value, because the holster has close to the same numbers, not much. About the same as having a accompanying holster without. If the numbers did match, an extra $150.-$200.....IMO. If it were me and the condition was good and the price right, I'd go for it anyway but now....I'm not going after anything. BTW, depends too on the unit. -
LOS ANGELES (AP) During the historic D-Day invasion of World War II, Walter D. Ehlers accomplished some of the most awe-inspiring acts of bravery imaginable, earning a Medal of Honor for knocking out two German machine-gun nests and saving countless Allied soldiers' lives. The 23-year-old staff sergeant charged through enemy gunfire to kill seven enemy soldiers, chase away several others, put a halt to mortar fire and carry a wounded comrade to safety, even after he been shot in the back. http://news.msn.com/obits/ww2-medal-of-honor-recipient-walter-ehlers-dies
