Short Brake to attend Ciney 2025
Dear Friends, Customers and Followers - we are taking a short break from our "weekly update" schedule. We are presently on a travel schedule to attend the Ciney Show in Belgium and view some major collection that are for sale and purchase new inventory. Hopefully we will find some new treasures for all of us.
Note that our site is still fully operational. Next update after this coming Friday October 24th, 2025 should be scheduled for Friday Nov. 14th, 2025.

History
Before World War I and the time of mechanized armies there was the Age of Kings.
The great armies of the late 1900’s were heirs to a rich military heritage. These armies embodied the spirit and national identity of the nations they served. There are few alive today who have witnessed the pomp and grandeur of a great military parade of the pre 1914 era.
The pageantry of processions of cavalry troops, artillery columns and massed infantry in colorful uniforms and headgear must have been a fantastic sight.
