I have the opportunity to buy this french artillery tunic. the current owner is not to sure what model it is. Can’t find any history on the 19th artillery.
I am a ww1 collector and would love to have this in my collection, if its ww1 era. I know the french didn’t change their uniforms much from the 1870’s until 1915 or so I am unable to tell. to me it looks like the "Tunique Modele 1897" but then google images isn’t always good for comparison pictures.
And possible info on this would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.
Description: Asking $800 OBO for this visor. It’s a nice one with the first style eagle. Only 1 small stain and the interior is very nice with the celluloid intact. FREE Shipping inside the US.
Hi just wanted to know if any of the experts here could help shine some light into the Boer War/WW1 medal grouping my wife bought me for Xmas. The medals are as follows Queens South Africa medal with Transvaal, Orange Free State and Cape Colony clasps, Kings South Africa medal with South Africa 1902 and 1901 clasps both named to 3456 Pte A Curtis South Staffordshire Regiment.
His WW1 medals are the standard three yet the star is named 8593 Cpl A.A Curtis North Staffordshire Regiment
The War and Victory medals 8593 A SJT A.A Curtis North Staffordshire Regiment. So he started off with rank of private during the second Boer War and made Corporal and then Acting Sergeant during his service in WW1.
I managed to locate the WW1 Medal Index Card for 8593 Corporal and Acting Sergeant Albert A Curtis and just need some help to interpret its meaning as it has "RFC" on it along with North Staffs does this mean he had served at some point with the Royal Flying Corps or does this mean or refer to something else??? First theatre of operations is given as "MEF" anyone know what this refers to. Any help would be most gratefully accepted as the wife spent a fair bit buying these for me this Xmas and I promised id do as much research as possible on them. Hope you can help and thanks for looking. Please see pics of the medal group and index card 8593 Albert A Curtis is the one in bottom left.
Need some feedback - it is first my "artistic" venture. Decided to make a repro road sign (field made) for my man cave - Rekau (small village in East Prussia) with tactical marking for motorcycle messenger platoon. How is the overall look with the weathering ? Thanks !
Hello all. This is my latest addition to my collection and I am very happy with it . It looks like a solid Heer M42 ET 64 probably 1942-1943 . I would appreciate any comments and opinions,especially about the decal.
Hi everyone, bought this deactivated Ruby model 1915 7.65mm pistol today, for a low price. It appears to be a post WW1 commercial version. Any comments welcome. Doug
