Hello folks.

Thought I’d finally start a thread on this, as it’s a problem that’s been bugging me for some time.

Like most of us here, I own a military uniform or two. Currently, however, they’re consigned to the wardrobe, where they hang out of sight in the dark. For the longest time, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to display them ‘in the open’ in a way that’s cost- and space-effective.
Most would suggest mannequins, and this is something that’s been put to me before. I love the idea of slowly dressing up and completing a mannequin over time, but I simply do not have the space. In my collection room, there’s barely enough standing room for me alone, never mind an army of silent plastic soldiers. I’ve considered using only a torso or tailor’s dummy, but again space is limited, and the result would be a cramped and messy-looking display.

In short, I’d be interested to know how other collectors in my position have overcome this issue. I’d like to display a uniform, most notably a tunic, properly without having to fold it or drape it over something else. I must stress that I have very - ‘very’ - limited floor space to work with. I do, however, have a lot of free wall space if I take down some posters.

Regards, B.B.

I was looking at a thread begun by our own FB concerning peaked caps for sale on the interwebs. He made reference to a web page and it sufficiently piqued my interest that I went to the page for a look around. While perusing the items offered for sale, I came across the following image, which is one that I have been looking for across the web.
Here are the sellers’ images of the photo;




The reason I have been looking for an image just like this is that it clearly shows the lion head sword with what appears to be a cavalry design being held by a young man in the service of the infant TR era Wehrmacht. I like that it shows his transitional insignia, as stated by the seller, and the new breast eagle and peaked cap insignia.
They estimated the date of the photo to be 1935.
Thanks for looking.
