I am very pleased with thise new addition to the collection.
I didn't know they existed and was very suprised to find thise one, the particularity of the well know German reservist pipe is decorated with a Belgian cavalryman in hise between wars uniform, with the mention "souvenire du camps d'Elsenborn".
The camp of Elsenborn used to be a Prussian military camp in the late 1800 and was handed over to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles. So the Belgians seems to have took everything ...also the traditions!
