At the same military fair i found this to my Austro-Hungarian 1861-Model officers sabre. The black and yellow were the Austrian Hapsburg colours. I wonder what the red/brown stains are on this piece? Maybe some old remains of some duelling? (I'm sorry, but i was not sure of the correct English word for this sabre attachment.)

I haven?t updated for a while, but i haven?t stopped collecting. Here?s just some of the things i added to my collection of Hungarian and Austro-Hungarian militaria. Some months ago I finally managed to get an original, mint-conditioned Hungarian "Kepi-style" offices hat. The model was a remain from Austro-Hungarian times, but modified to the Horthy, Titular kingdom (1920-1944) format, with the Hungarian national colours inside the crest in front. It was worn like this by all officers from second lieutenant up to generals. Lower ranked NCO?s used the brown hat, that I have displayed earlier inside this topic series.

Hmm.. What you see on the photo is a model of the Stalin statue that was erected on the edge of V?rosliget (the city Park) in Budapest. The large monument stood 18 meters tall in total. The bronze statue stood eight meters high on a four meters high limestone base on top of a tribune eighteen meters wide. Stalin was portrayed as a speaker, standing tall and rigid with his right hand at his chest. The sides of the tribune were decorated with relief sculptures depicting the Hungarian people welcoming their leader. The Hungarian sculptor, S?ndor Mikus was chosen in a competition were 25 sculptors participated. The model that is displayed in the Museum of Military History is actually the model that was used in that competition. The plans to erect a statue of Stalin was planed as early as 1949 but this statue was not finished until December of 1951. Lots of old Budapest statues, from before the war was recycled for making the bronze statue of Stalin.
