Thanks !

Hi Flying Dutchman,

Thanks for letting me know. now when was this book printed?

its all there and the spine is intact, as you can see the front cover has been slightly damaged on the lower right hand corner, would this detract from this 150EUro price?

Will only swap for imperial medalbars...

Regards

Paul

Hi,

as you can recognize on the title it was printed in 1913 for the 25th anniversary of Willhelms reign.

This flaw could reduce the price a little imo. Good luck with the trading of this book.

Hi notned,

that?s a scarce and nice book you have there. Congratulation on this. I also have it. For $10 it?s a gift. Price in Europe is generally over 150?. Nice find !

Gentlemen,

here comes a scarce item.

It?s an original Princess Mary Box from 1914 INCLUDING the cigarettes, the Princess Mary xmas letter and the tobacco !

This beautiful box reminds me always of the famous christmas truce in 1914. British soldiers changed these boxes and the cigarettes for german belt buckles.

It?s pretty rare, because you find them normally without the content. I hope this is the correct section. But this box is definitely a part of the british equipment, isn?t it ?

Unfortunately I?m a non smoker...

Best regards;

KM eagle

Hi Paul,

from where I sit it looks like a reissued M35 helmet.

It could be a former KM helmet as you stated, but I?m not sure. The Heer eagle looks good to me. I can?t figure out from the photos whether the first decal is KM or not. I post a Heer eagle and KM eagle of my collection here to compare. A KM eagle has to have a deep golden tone. The maker stamp has to be on the right inside near the D rings. From the pics it could be an ET 64 or 66 ???

I believe that your helmet was reissued in 1940. The germans put a textured camo on it with a new eagle decal sitting atop of the camo. After decades the camo had partly gone and the first eagle reappeared. Just my 2 cents.

Gentlemen,

here comes my Lacher & Co (Laco) Beobachter Uhr.

This watch is in mint condition with its original box ! Ultra rare in this condition with the box and matching numbers.

Works perfectly, it is one of my favourites.

Enjoy this beautiful watch.

the famous movement

Please notice that the underlying eagle appears a lot more golden in color than in the pic... I think that the flash greatly distorted the color.

Hi Paul,

this seems to be an interesting helmet. I really would love to see more shots. Unfortunately your pictures aren?t that good. Don?t use a direct flash. Best results you?ll have outside during sunshine in the shadow imo. Could you please post also pics from the liner, please ? Genuine triple decal helmets are rare as snow in hell and of course desirable for collectors.

Thanks in advance !
