Catalog 92 Preview:
If there was a theme song for Catalog #92, it would have to be a 'mash-up' between the US Marine Hymn and the Giovinezza. Depending on what we were working on at the time, it seems like someone around here has been whistling one or the other for days on end. Why? There is some particularly interesting Italian WWI and WWII material featured on Catalog #92, and some rather nice WWI and WWII USMC material as well! In fact.. there is a WWI Italian Alpini group on this catalog that we have been holding back for several issues now because we wanted it to be on the cover. It is so extensive, though, that we just could not figure out how to do it justice on a catalog cover so eventually we gave up and a nice WWII Italian set took it's place. Whether you collect WWI Italian material or not, be sure to check this one out just for the fun of looking over such an amazingly complete group. (After you have done your shopping, of course!)
Catalog highlights include:
- Complete 'Blitzkreig' era soldier museum quality complete displays from Denmark and Czechoslovakia
- Complete museum-grade enlisted soldier displays of Italian Infantry and Alpini soldiers from WWII
- A complete (massive would be a more accurate description) museum quality display of a WWI Italian Alpini soldier's uniforms and field equipment
- WWI 2nd Division 2nd Battalion 6th Marines Officer's Uniform
- A scarce 1933 pattern Kriegsmarine National War Flag (c. 1933-1935)
- Several good pieces of Third Reich headgear including a fine quality original Allgemeine SS Enlisted Visor Hat
- Archive collection from a sailor who served aboard U-457, and perished in action against the British destroyer HMS Impulsive off the coast of Murmansk in 1942.
- Several nice WWI USMC uniforms, including a group that features a rather spectacular painted helmet.
- Bavarian 1st Infantry Regiment "Konig" Officer's M10/15 Field Gray Tunic
- French WWI Colonial Soldier's complete head-to-toe uniform and equipment display.
