great photo RICK , one of the most interesting period pics I have seen in a long time and of my favorite topic thanks for sharing it PAUL

WELL that certainly dates it and brings into question the vast array of uniforms and insignia that early. I would wonder if several levels of the TN org are represented here with regulars militia and reserves all presant for this exercise in demolitions ? PAUL

YES I would aggree with the numbers and then the other makers doing up a lot speculating on a contract, still small but might be stumbled on in a lot grabbed from a depot by a GI paul

certainly not many it was a small community with few general officers but I am sure DAVE has a figure PAUL

ah my kingdom for a gold alder TENO of course. What are the chances? PAUL

Definately OT to bad about condition very rare PAUL

Dave quick question just picked up my third enamelled pin and am now wondering if anyone has ever found a list yet to relate the numbers to a name regards PAUL

The trooper is a member of the 22nd SASKATCHEWAN LIGHT HORSE REF MAZEAS PRE 1914 PAGE 45 REF MC34 REGARDS paul ps circa 1912

Be aware there are two generations of the fakes from that country and the size and weight are much improved plus the strap and cushions are well aged but sorry to bother PAUL

after almost getting burned on one of these I have studied them with a passion and the first thing that caught my eye with this helmet was the classic thin guage metal as used by the czech fakers. One should get a data base of helmet weights in lbs and grams as I believe this is the one deciding factor now with the quality of these repros coming out. IMO paul
