Some hessian awards. The grand cross of the order of Ludwig is larger in real life then what you'd think. The Saxon SEHO isn't bad either..

A nice Baden pickelhaube of garde regiment 109. It's a shame it's priced at 10 000 $.

I finally made it across the pond. The flights were very tiresom and long, but that was forgotten as soon as I set my foot inside the show. Now thats what I'd call a big event. Most of the stuff was US naturally and there were only a few guys with Imperial stuff around, so the material benefit consists of 4 books that I got. But that didn't really bother me. I was able to meet so many old friends and combine names with faces thats it's still hard to put them in any order. I even got to meet the Evil Twinns!
One of them is indeed Evil.. I also met Oak leaf winner Walter Schuck and had a long talk with him in german. He was happy to see a finnish face there, especially because he was stationed in Finland for three years during the war!
Here are a few Imperial things that I spotted there, first off some pickelhaubes.. (sorry about the small size, but my per post limit isn't bigger than that..)

Well, my german has rusted a bit in the past few months, but there are a few comparison pics that I find interesting and rather scary. Here is the WAF thread:

Whatever the purpose, It is nicely made and it's rare to see such pieces manufactured post-ww2.

Have you guys read the article that Marc posted at the imperial forum in WAF? It's pretty heavy stuff.

Thats a very nice selection of EKs Greg. Good job!

Paul, I'd hardly call your collection a humble one. It's big and varsatile! I'm really impressed.

I like the case, It's just enough crowded to give out the right look.
As for the other case, well.. ..You've obviously got your hands full!

Very stylish indeed, I like it!

Lately I've been thinking about US navy uniforms, mostly because of a good tv series (JAG). I collect german awards and nothing is going to change that, but that doesn't mean that I cant be curious..
What I'm interested in, is a complete navy admirals uniform (service dress blues) with coat, trousers and the hat. I've checked marlow white website, so I know what a brand new combination costs. I naturally cant order one directly from the maker because i'm not a US citizen.
So how much does a used modern set cost? And is it possible (legal) to acquire one?
Thank you for your time.

Take another look guys, that sheep is a ram and probably also a cousin of Rick's.
Nah, If it was of any relation to Ricky, it would be a goat.
