Look's great! |<ris

Naturabuy, is the French contre part of ebay, it works ok.The only thing is that some do not send out side France, or only take French cheques. But I can provide help there if needed! Good luck! |<ris

Here are some; http://www.naturabuy.fr/adsearch.php?indescription=y&title=PIQUE+REVOLUTIONNAIRE

Hey Paul, got it from a French militaria forum I am one. But you must be able to find one quiet easy, in fact they are not that rare. I would be glad to be of any help, if needed. cheers |<ris

I am using the seller's pic's. It is wel marked "A N", not sure what it stands for...I' ve seen Armée Nationale and Atelier Nationale.... But I like it.

Interesting! cheers |<ris

Nothing to it, just the normal thing to do. Strange nobody else reported it, as it all ready had 8 hits before I visited it.......... cheers |<ris

Very nice! And mint as it seems.

Hey Mervin, they must be something like 1950 to 1960. Most things related to the harbor were in English. |<ris

All i know is he played with Beerschot, and that the cap was used when in the national selection. cheers |<ris

I know to little about these, but I am glad to have find a specialized section (forum). Keep them coming. |<ris

also related to Antwerp, in many ways.

Headgear is my main interest field, and when it is related to my home town Antwerp, it fit's two themes at once! Here is a soccer cap of a guy who played for one of the oldest teams in Antwerp. Not interested in football, so I can't give you much more info on it....

That would have been a killer, in grey! But I would like that one too. Great addition. |<

My pleasure! |<

Hey John, new uniforms were in use in 1970, but some regions kept the old hats a bit longer. Army abolished those hats during WWI. cheers |<ris

It is indeed the highest NCO Gendarme kepis, for parade purpose. The B stands for King Baudouin. A rather rare object these days. |<ris

Nice stuff! Can't compete... got only salty KM......! Cheers |<ris

Hey Mervyn, I like them too. And something made me pick them out of a house clearing a friend of me was doing. The problem is I can't lay the finger on the reason of my choice! Sadly the women figure suffered some damage. I have been told they do well on auctions, but can't find any results. Apparently during my search on the internet, I only come by other people also looking for information regarding the artist. Any help is appreciated. cheers |<ris

Here is a full view of the halberd peak(Swiss 17th century!);

I see it was relocated, thanks Brian. "side, or cheek, pieces attached to the head and running along two sides of the handle" were the therms I was seeking when mentioning that even Viollet le Duc did pay attention to that attachment. Just like on this halberd, that is a time piece.

Hey Brian, you are absolutely right about the lack of a elaborated way to hold the hammer to the stick. Just found out that even Viollet le Duc did pay attention to that attachment, so that makes it a rather ordinary 19 th or even 20 th century copy. It might indeed fit under the swords and edged weapons section. Feel free to move. cheers |<ris

An (probably!) Belgian artist, that little is know off... Not even sure of the gender of the artist, but works of his/her hand are very much sought after.
