This book is from 1978 and you find all details of German Helmets Mod. 1897. Every seriös collector need it an you find it for 8 - 10€ here in Germany.
I think I have to say something about the stars of the general a la suite.
The helmet of a general a la suite and the helmet of a member of the Prussian General Staff only differ in the colour of the stars. The General Staff helmet has yellow stars and the General a la suite has white stars...
Good morning,
both helmets I sold, so I cannot show more photos. Sorry.
One was a policehelmet, the other Oldenburger Generalhelmet and Flügeladjutant to Sachsen Coburg Gotha.
I am a German collector of helmets of the models 1842 to 1860 and I am looking for these helmets and their emblems and spare parts for purchase or for exchange.
