Show us yours...again

[Airborne01]

Hope I haven't gone overboard but here's where I retreat to when I can't get an in-depth conversation, on such diverse subjects as Cartesian Mathematics or Probability Theory, with my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I assure you there is modelling material in there - somewhere!

With rooms like these who needs to go out and get infected. I noticed even here we guys that have a hobby aren't feeling so bottled up unless you run out of thinner or glue. :smiling6:

Now that’s cool. You have more junk than I do Steve.....nice jacket and colours (can’t see the shako Or Brown Bess). I assume you were/are a Napoleonic re-enacter then?

Tim,
My friend gave me the jacket (Good Home syndrome) with haversack, cross belts etc - but the shako and plate had gone adrift, I had an India Pattern Brown Bess prior to that but it's now in it's rightful position - over the fireplace in my local! The colours are home made with the assistance of a previous wife who was a very talented, and patient teacher, seamstress! No reason why, just seemed like a good idea at the time! I trailed the puissant pike briefly but the Service requirements got in the way of fancy-dress p--- ups! Were you ever a re-enactor?

Not my sort of thing Steve. Used to like watching the sealed knot though, and saw a fantastic reenactment at Gettysburg when I was on holiday. That one had full cavalry regiments. The pubs the night before were fabulous, soldiers everywhere!

I would have loved to have seen Gettysburg! The 'Colonials' do such excellent re-enactments! (No malice intended!). I went to places like the Alamo and Little Big Horn but never coincided with any displays - as for pubs, they were always good for a scrap ("My little Jock mate thinks your Drill Sergeant looks like a 'nice boy'... ! Lights, action, camera!!!)

Don't go in for re-enactments myself......prefer the real thing , been collecting Militaria for near 50 years. I date back as far as the Spanish American War........wish I could go farther back into History but the pocket book won't allow it. Rick H.

Indeed!!!

What is your interest Steve and maybe I have something you would like to see......most of my collection is focused on WW2 but as I said, there is some WW1 and I was lucky enough to pick up a few items from the Spanish American conflict.
