This is a screenshot of the Uniform-Guideline for Officers from 1896...The 3cm and Eyebrowline were correct.

The main thing which strikes me about these photos is that the helmets seem way too small for the men’s heads. I know these were hand-me-downs, but, even so... The Helmet size looks ok for me. If I remember right, the Side-Edge of the Helmet should be 3cm above the Ear and the Frontvisor-Trimm shou...

It‘s a wonderfull shiny Helmet...really nice

That is absolutely true, Brian! The only thing they ever threw out on their own initiative was a well-used and obsolete old Kaiser

Please do not bully our „Wilhelm zwo“

Hi Brian! I think the name is Tünemann, with a T. Those German letters always were a bit of a bother, especially in the past, but also to a certain extend in the present. Doing things differently, that's what Germans like :D I've said it before, I'm saying it now, and I will undoubtedly say it agai...

Look really great
Thank you for sharing

Congratulations to your first cap. Nice find and very good investigation

Very interesting..looks really good. Thanks for the tips and continued success for your restoration-efforts

According your tipp I found another portuguese officer's spiked helmet for a Dragoon-Reg., which looks pretty identical.

Even better than your other ones.. Great

Agree, nice helmets in wonderfull condition

Nice story and coloration, thank you for sharing

I‘m sorry but I have to object..., if the feathers would stand for the Prince of Wales it would have a banner with his slogan „ICH DIEN“ below the crown. Important for the coat of arms of european Monarchies is the ranking crowns (coronets). The design of a coronet shows the rank of its owner, as in...

Wonderful Helmet and excellent investigation. Congratutations Philippe

Looks great...well done until here

I like these Restauration-Posts too and always learn a lot. Looking forward to see more and thank you for sharing it

A nice find Congratulations

Awesome Helmets...thank you for sharing

According the describtion it is the „III Bataillon der 7 Thüringer Infanterie Regiment Nr. 96“ The picture I found on Alamy is not reversed: https://www.alamy.de/stockfoto-einen-helm-fur-reserveoffiziere-die-iii-bataillon-der-7-thuringer-infanterie-regiment-nr-96-leder-schadel-mit-vergoldeten-tombac...

Congratulations to your Helmet

From which high Noble is it and is it proofable?

I found an Eaupeulette in „Die Deutsche Infanterie“ Band 1 (Page 386), it has a white Background, a red cloth underlay, a golden 9 (as Number) and a golden Edge. Unfortunately I donˋt know if the one of 1866 was looking identical.

Happy new year Jaap. Wish you the very very best and I pray for your recovery

You‘re very welcome...happy new year to all Forum-Members

A cool collection in a stylish cabinet. Well done

A beautiful collection...like it

Wish you also all a merry merry christmas

Awesome find. Thanks god that it was not destroyed because of this misunderstanding. It is impressive that you recognize the „Kaiser“ at first glance, but it was built only from just a few and simple attachments. Love it

yes and no, the Semper Talis bandeau went into effect via AKO in 1889, so if helmet was before then.. James I think that we might have figured this out. The Semper Talis bandeaux went into effect in 1889. The Prussian Kokarde is on the left side of the helmet and the Pickelhaube shown has two Kokar...

Hmm, I‘m sorry but I don‘t know what Regiment has this rivet in brass and all other things in silver.
Hope anybody else can help

I would tend to Nr. 1 Garde-Regiment zu Fuss, because Plate, Guard-Star, Spike, Spikebase, Trim, Rosette/Post and flat ChinScale are all in silver. Or is the any part in brass? That would change something... Unfortunately I can‘t identify it definitely on my screen, but it seems to be all silver for...

Thank you for this interesting Link

Awesome, thank you for the Link

Wonderful Tschako, thank you for the nice explanation

A real improvement with your treasures in the glas displays. Nice collection

Oh man ...good luck and keep the faith. Hope you can cheat death

Love your style and parade. Have a smooth move and good luck in your new home

Agree, a nice set. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for this post. I would have thought it‘s a fake if you had not confirmed it. Love the Helmet

Nice finds, I love the Teatin. Congratulations

Additional to Tony you could visit the New Parlais. There is an exhibition named „Kaiserliche Weihnachten“ (imperial christmas). Unfortunately you missed the exhibition „Kaiserdämmerung“ which ends today. It was about the last day of Wilhelm II. in the New Parlais and there were a lot of his persone...

I wait for it in german TV. Unfortunately it did not streamed on german History-Channel

Beautiful set, thank you for sharing

Nice Ludwig II.-Pipe, congratulations. I like the way you represent them

A wonderfull Helmet. Thank you for sharing and your nice explanation..really cool
