Hola Bergkamerad Diego! Always good to meet another mountain comrade! I take it that you were with the Spanish Army Mountain Troops? What kind of packsaddles did you use with your mules? Do you have any photos from that time? Thanks for your compliment about my collection...you are seeing a...

Grüß Di' Diego, The big white hat is a local hat worn by people in the Caucasus Mountain region of Russia. It is also seen being worn by the Soviet Army, and by Gebirgsjägers fighting in that area during the war. And yes I have used some of my packsaddles and baskets on a Haflinger...

Grüß Di' Uli, Good to hear from you! I really miss my time in Germany. Please say 'Servus' to Max and Otto for me whenever you see them. Pfiat di' Patrick
