    WW1 Uniforms...all nations


    Recommended Posts

    Thanks Chris, I was real lucky on this one - I walked into a local antique shop here in Eureka, CA. I jumped on it when I saw the Dress Blues, made the owner promise to get the photos, and name (note: name in the caps, etc). Store Owner told me grandson sold the items. There is a special story on the Captains photo - I purchase it back in 1991 from a junk man (who had a contract to go though the local garbage, before it was hauled away). Unbelievable. I still need to try to run down the grandson, to see if anything is left. I missed Schermerhorn's enlisted visor cap (it was on a shelve). Cheers Captain Albert

    That is a more than fantastic group!!!!!!

    Thanks for the info - I believe that this is a Captains uniform as it has gold bullion stars - NCO's had the bone white stars? Sorry - its not my plan to sell it at any moment soon.... but if the creeks rise as we say...
