BrunoIt seems that we are seeing Pickelhaube front plates covered with black fabric, a subject that was discussed on this forum a while ago.
GlennSteve,
the officer behind the Field Marshal is wearing the M18 model steel helmet with “ear cut-outs”. He is the Field Marshal’s son, the then Hauptmann (later Generalleutnant) Oskar von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg.
Regards
Glenn
It's a real question.....if post war manufactured, do these helmets respect the pre-war regulation ????KAGGR#1
Since it was 1921 and we see lots of the military still wearing their uniforms and spiked helmets
the question comes up
were their helmets from pre WWI or were they wearing newer helmets ?
I think that they didNice post...very informative...

Thanks BrunoSteve, spiked helmets were made anew till at least the 1930's. The catalog below is dated 1932.
The cockades, epaulets, belts. The Kürassier "Königin" Pommersches Nr.2 Officers had the trophies on their Hohenfriedberg Brustschilder veiled as well. Years ago I posted a topic on King Albert of the Belgians Dragoner Nr.16 helmet. Brussels Army Museum. Still not clear on what occasion he wore this. Cockades and Wappen have this very thin black mourning veil. Pics are gone. Will repost.
