Forgot to say it is a Belgian cuirassier, first model.
Second type has the big lion head (with no lower jaw)for front plate.

Found this poor chap, who needs a doctor;

OMG!!


meaning; Oh My General!

Super helmet.

I always go 2 to 3 times up and down a shop, a flea market or any other exposition of items for sale.
Also do change of direction, when starting a new visit; you always missed something!

Or take Gus along when visiting antiques events!;-)

Have fun!

Love it too!

Love it too!

Nice sword!
Nobility coat of arms is the one of a family; the feathers could suggest British ...
The crown is not a royal crown, and also less then a duke or a count...
There is a French forum specialized in this kind of research;

Love it!

Super!

Love them too!

Love the helmet!
..love your pic's!!

Hey, sorry to read this!
Get well soon.

Thank you all! not sure why you call it "summer" and "M17" but that's probably due to my lack of knowledge Nothing wrong with your knowledge!! Just my interpretation of what I read during my research. I am probably totally wrong, and the reason of my question;"how to describe this cap at his best"...

So would it be correct to state that it is a M17 summer Schirmmütze to a infantry Prussian officer !?
The bottom edging is not quiet white, but seems like a discoloration, due to age. I think it was originally the same color as the top.

hello, I am not that good in cloth headgear, so I could use some help in how to describe this hat for the best. Thanks for your time and expertise. cheers Kris https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/rimg4411.jpg https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/17/44/33/68/rimg4410.jpg https://i90.servimg.com/u/f90/...

Super!

Always great to have the history.
Well done.

I was in doubt and couldn't really make my choice, from several examples offered on dealers sites.
And then; came this one along, offered on a forum at the price of a single 1870 EK, by a friend- collector!

I do love the bar it is on, as well.
