Hi all! Well, after a long wait, I used some squirrelled-away fun funds to pick up something I had my eyes on for a LONG time… a Napoleonic French shako! And on top of that, the gent who made it (Willem from Shakos GBL) agreed to a short interview, so not only do I have some photos of my own shako, but I have some other great photos and some interesting information to boot! So come on by and take a peek! link

It looks great. Is it full size? If it is, then that is one big TV screen! |

Hah! It is full size:) The TV is good sized, but not HUGE… there are people with MUCH larger TVs out there:) |

Whatever else they say about COL Elting on this site, he was inarguably right about one thing…."instrument of torture!" |

For me being a Prussian/ Russian aficionado a Prussian would be to plain but a Russian with cords would be awesome |

That's very neat! One of those "bucket list" things I'll try to cross off at some point. :) |
