CDV Cavalry Senior NCO in Stable Jacket C.1880s

A classic portrait of a dashing Cavalryman holding the rank of WO1, probably the RSM, with his massive mustache, possibly a Hussar. His rank is clearly on his cuff on his right lower arm. Slight fading, but a good subject with lots of character. No idea what unit he is with, but the address of the photographer places him in Ireland. His medals are hard to identify.  read more

RFC Trench Art Clock Frame

Offered is an interesting use of an old propeller hub off a WWI aircraft. It consists of the center hub to the props, stained, polished and mounted with a Canadian RNAS badge. The clock is missing, but one can easily be installed. I found the standard IKEA alarm clock fits nicely, just needs some foam packing to hold in place. A neat project for a collector's room that is dedicated to the Ai...  read more
