I'm from the Waterloo area.....I mostly collect 1812/Napoleonic stuff. I also have a K&C Napoleonic collection...but have stopped collecting for a while...I'm think of continuing with just the British stuff.

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind comments...I have kept my K&C Napoleonics but unfortunitly they have been in storage for 2 years....I will eventually get them out....The new British releases are very motivating.....

Thanks for the detail Wellington. I wanted to be sure of what I was seeing and it certainly is impressive. I especially like the 1796 Swords and the cavalry pistol but the brown besses are near equally appealing to me. Thanks for sharing, it is quite an achievement to have all those in such fine shape.

What a great collection. Thank you for posting it.
I hope interest in the War of 1812 takes off in the next couple of years.

 

[Saber]

Great collection, especially the sergeants pike.

Yo Trooper, nice to see them, looks a great collection. But think the Light Cavalry Sabres would look better on my wall.

Hi Wellington,

I would thoroughly enjoy seeing shots of some of the small items in your collection. Please post some of them when you have the time.

Warmest personal regards,

Great stuff indeed! I would be interested in seeing more at a closer range as well I have started to collect Napoleonic pistols myself (they are nice replicas made in Spain). Please see below:
