This is a reasonably solid spike helmet that displays well. The body is sound with a very good and solid liner. The rear visor has an area that was folded or bent, but is still all there. The front visor trim has been broken in half, but is also all there. The strap looks very good, but may be a very early replica made of original parts. The cockades are original, but the national has been really well repainted. Overall, it is a helmet with a few small issues, but displays very well.  
This is an interesting M16 camo that was in a collection in Texas for years. It is a standard 3 color geometric version that was later, and I believe still period subdued by lightly applying a coat of green paint. The camo is still visible. The finish is very good. The back rivet is missing, but the 2 front ones are still there as is the steel band. Overall, it is a nice M16 camo, is a style rarely encountered. 
The paint is original and nice. The rivets have never been moved, and the band is also original. There is a bullet hole in the back neck guard, but it does not take away from the display of this piece.
This is a really attractive sword. The double engraved blade is almost perfect with just the tiniest amount of blemished spots. it is nice and straight without any dents or dings. The grip is great without any problems. The guard is really excellent, just dull from years if age. I think it would polish out really nice if you wanted it shiny. The scabbard fits very well, and has almost all of the original paint. The throat screws are missing, but this is typical, and does not show or detract. Overall this is a great example that displays very well. The blade length is 36 inches.
This is a nice quality sword made with a very detailed guard. The lion has ruby eyes (one missing). Hopefully he received a silver wound badge for such a horrific wound! The handle is made of sharkskin, which is very uncommon for a German sword. The scabbard has been period repainted with a heavy black paint. The blade still retains almost all of the original polish. There may be a maker's stamp, but I am unable to see it under the cross guard. Overall this is a nice high quality sword that displays well. The overall length is just under 36 inches.
This is a standard sidearm for the Prussian rural police. The blade is very good without any problems. The grip has all the original rapping wire over imitation shark skin. The handle is very solid and has a nice tarnished brass color. The leather scabbard is very solid without problems, and fits the blade very well. The blade is still very good without any problems. It is maker marked with a capital "Z" in a shield. This is a sidearm that is not seen too often, and is a very solid example overall. The overall length is 30.5 inches.
This is a nice example of a rare cap. I bought it is Prague last summer. The material is sound, but with some mouthing on the edge. The insignia and National Colors are original also. The sweatband is a little dried out. Overall it is a good example of a rare cap.
These are really hard to find. It is smaller than a standard spike helmet plate. The finish is super nice. The detail is great with the classic blunt eagle beak. Both loops are solid, but the orb has been broken and lost to history.
This is the standard brass Prussian spike helmet front plate. It has a nice old patina, and still retains both rear attachment loops. Sorry the orb is broken off of this one, but I have priced it down.
It is a nice sound 1915 dated P08 brown leather holster. It is complete, with the exception of a little bit of the leather has been period removed to make the pistol more accessible, which was common. The leather and the stitching are nice & sound. The tool, which is included is original to the holster, but unmarked. The flap is depot (BAG 10) marked.

This are a hard to find case. the binos are the size of WWII era German 6x30s. The leather is not the best, as the top is detached from the body, and the side tabs are gone too. Still the belt loops are sound. Still it is fine for a display. It has a nice label on the inside of the cover, and nice factory markings. Overall it displays well form the front.

This is one of the harder WWI French helmets to find. It is painted the original and correct Khaki finish. the liner, strap and badge are all original to the piece. It was lacquered years ago. The lacquer has hardened and yellowed to give this piece a nice aged appearance.
This is a solid example of the standard WWI US helmet finished in the rough camo paint, which was painted later with a medium brown paint, which has cracked over the years with many very small cracks.. The Indian insignia was painted over the final paint, and it has also cracked over the years. The insignia and the overall paint defiantly show their age. The liner is very solid and original, just missing the chinstrap. Overall this is a very solid example of a desirable helmet.
This is a good solid example of the later WWI Brit steel helmet. The shell has nice period brown paint, with just several very small dents @ the very top.

This is a nice early example. the blade is still bright with good markings. It was sharpened many years ago, but just a little. Overall it is a very nice example. Sorry, no scabbard.
This one is right out of an antique shop in SE Michigan. It has several nice unit disks attached with G Company 33rd Rgt. markings. All the snaps are functional, and all the grommets are sound. One pocket, a back one, is frayed on the sides, but otherwise this belt is very sound. Both sides are mills marked, but I am unable to make out the date stamps on the canvas. Overall this is a solid example of a desirable belt.
This came out of an old collection in Toledo, Ohio. The entire set is very nice with no problems, except one pocket has the break on the bottom, but it does not show from the side.

Overall it is a solid set reasonably priced. 
This is a mint perfect example. It has no problems; you will love it.
