The gloves are WW11 German motor cycle that my got uncle got
after the cycle was dstroyed, he was on a tank destroyer. Ron and
I haven't seen any others like these.
The Picklehauben is a Prussian Guard Officer's. This is a mid war and the helmet is Vulcan Fibre which is an early form of plastic. The parade
tricter is either buffalo or yak hair dyed white which is the Prussian color.
The helmet liner is in perfect condition and is silk. Of the cockades, the Imperial is black, white, red. the prussian is black, white. For Ron's info.
The K-98 came from a close friend's estate who had 300+ K-98's plus a lot of other stuff which Ron and I would of liked to have had. It is an "unfired"
Persian with the matching bayonet. At one time, some of them, he had more than one "unfired", had the factory test fire targets. Don't know what happened to the targets. The inscription on the stock says "Infantry" and the serial number is 08870T. Made in Brno in 1309, which is either 1945 or 1935. Not sure of the year transciption.
One Radom hasn't been touched, but one has been reblued with some white repro grips. Actually I kind of like the looks of it. They are both 3 lever.
When Ron gets back out here on his Harley, he can take more pics.
