Really nice set of pink panzer oberst shoulder boards. Oberst is equivalent to a Colonel. Both boards are slip on variety and show no damage but gentle signs of age that should be expected. The buttons are an extra bonus. Gilt pips are very nicely sunk in on both sides. There is a hole on each board central to the two pips. Undoubtedly the fellow was a Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) promoted and had to reconfigure his pips. I like this and it sort of adds another layer of personality...

Nice, original WWII era German aiguillette. I believe with the red trim this should be for Red Cross (DRK). While I am sure of the age I am assuming on the Red Cross designation so would appreciate input.

A set of six matching 15/16" nurse's buttons (we think) from a World War I era uniform. Each is made of white metal and all have a black patinated finish - jewellery and metal were blackened so as not to reflect light or shine in the dark to avoid attracting the attention of the low-flying airplanes. The three of them have their retaining cotter pins...

This wonderfully colourful example of our Great British Army history has quite a few battle (or moth) scars but never the less is a most impressive addition to a collection. The Royal Hussars (Queen Alexandra’s Own) was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, created in 1857 and amalgamated to form the 15/19th Hussars in 1922. The regiment was originally raised in Bengal by the British East India Company in 1857 as the 1st Bengal European Light Cavalry for service in the Indian Mutiny...

Very nice pair of leather shin guards for horseback riding. These are typical of the type that Japanese officer's would wear and sure enough, each piece has written inside "Second Lieutenant of Infantry Nishimura Katsujiro in very nice, clear writing. Named gear is always fun and these would look superb with an appropriate uniform. Condition is terrific throughout with only the mildest signs of age and use. Straps and buckles are all present and leather is soft, supple and nicely toned...

Very nice Russian belt and buckle. Buckle is clean and in good condition. The brocade is lovely and has a real nice toned patina. Two clips for sword or dagger hangers. Some parts of the reverse are age faded a bit more then others but still really a great looking rig.

Beautiful set of medical officer shoulder boards. Condition can't be beat. The cornflower blue velvet backing is clean and fresh and free of nips. The front shows just the tiniest age wear to the top edge of the aluminum weave. This is really nothing but adds a little character. The gilt cyphers are 98% or so and sunken in very well. The posts are under the velvet so these have been on forever. These are wide and very well made so probably late WWI through early Reichswehr...

Absolutely original Civil War pair of green and yellow epaulets, as worn by the Federal troops issued the French-pattern chasseur uniform, with rare original box. At the beginning of the Civil War the US Government ordered uniforms and equipment from overseas governments and private contractors to meet the demands of the rapidly expanding army including hundreds of volunteer regiments that needed outfitted...

The set was thought to be stolen but was found at the shop. Collection of accouterments belonging to John Henry Spengler, 45th Wisconsin Infantry, Co. G. Included is a model 1861 .69 caliber cartridge box with the US cartridge box plate and shoulder strap with round eagle breast plate, an early war cap box with square front flap with separately affixed latch tab, a tin with caps, a metal measure, a shot pouch with buckshot, and a thimble...

This is a WWI German Uniform Button. It measures about 3/4" X 3/4" X 1/4" ( 1.9 cm X 1.9 cm X 0.6 cm ).

Nice, honest example as per photos. Inside is superb, fresh and clean from the leather right down to the wool top padding and the tag nestled under the crown rivet.

Interesting Bavarian shako with a very attractive horse hair plume. I am not sure of the exact use or designation of this piece but it is definitely an old example. Considering the age the plume is in great shape (See images). Nicely detailed brass Bavarian plate on the front. Officer's metal scale chin strap with Bavarian style lion rivets. There is one officer's type cockade on the wearer's left...
