GdC26 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Many thanks for your kind words, Christophe, glad you like my new finds. Best, Sandro
Mike Dwyer Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Sandro, I just don't know what to say! I've run out of complimentary words to say about your beautiful, awe-inspiring collection. Yes, even without the lable that left sleeve on the dragoner coat was a giveaway. :Cat-Scratch:
GdC26 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 Many thanks, Mike, and well spotted. Happy to share these with the Forum. Best, Sandro

Chip Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Unbelievable! Are they having a garage sale at Doorn? Chip
VtwinVince Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 What can one say, except absolutely outstanding items, Sandro. Are the decorations filler pieces, or did they also come from the wearer's of the tunics?
GdC26 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 Chip, Vince, Many thanks for the kind words. Vince, the decorations, although to my knowledge not originally owned by the owners of the tunics shown, are not filler pieces. May have some further pics to post in the next few weeks, so watch this space. Best regards, Sandro
ccj Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 A few more, general from Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Rankinsignia are for a Generaloberst im Range eines Generalfeldmarschalls but although the boards are original, I?m not sure whether anyone ever held that rank in the Mecklenburgische Armee. Possibly, a previous owner added one or two pips. Still, a very rare tunic. Sandro, Have you finish your Mecklenburg-Schwerin General's display? Charles
ccj Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Sandro, Do you have any new items to add to this wonderful thread?
The Prussian Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) This is a brilliant thread! I must say, I haven´t seen it before... Unfortunately I don´t have any rare uniforms or parts, just photos, and I want you to show some of my rarest photos. 1) Königs-Schießabzeichen for saxon MG-troops 2) Fahnenträger-Abzeichen Mecklenburg-Schwerin. I. or II./89 3) A member of an INA (Infanterie-Nachrichten-Abteilung) Have you ever seen a Fahnenträger-Abzeichen of this unit? Every bopok only shows paintings...

Adler 1 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 You have a wonderfull collection sir! Adler 1
Hoss Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Heavy gear did you Gents notice these when they were at auction? Eric
Chip Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 It's amazing how much of Wilhelm II's stuff is showing up in private collections. I know he had tons of uniforms and not all of them would have ended up at Doorn, but where are these coming from? I have asked repeatedly if anyone knows if Doorn was thinning out the collection, perhaps to keep the museum open, but no one has revealed anything to this point. Perhaps the source is kept secret for good reason?Chip
ccj Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 How many uniforms did WII have? I've heard over 100 field gray and probably as many color. I wonder how many foreign uniforms he had. Austrian England Russia Ottoman Bulgaria Etc And how many for each country? I really think Sandro should sale me his WII field gray tunic...
