Cuirassier Battle of The Silver Helmets

[Bobted]

Could this have been one of the helmets that littered the battlefields? It has seen better times and I was a tad drunk when I bought it but I do like it. I had not known about this battle until I saw the wonderful one that Zebedus posted earlier. Rob

Could you show real good photographs of both sides. Sideposts. There should/could be Regimental/Eskadron markings as well as Kammer-[Quarter Master store]- Nummer/size in the outer shell. Thank you.

Seems weird; but Halen and Pasewalk people became good friends in their City partnership. Although my wife and I are not Halen citizens we have a very good bond.

Traditions of the Household Cavalry.
-Excellent picture of one of the farriers. Carrying the spiked axe. For the gruesome task on the battlefields. Helping wounded horses out of their pain and to chop of the numbered hoof. These were branded with the horses army number. That proof was needed for replacement of the lost horses.
...In complete chaos of mounted combat troopers could be tempted to sell their horse and claim it to be killed in battle...

Magnificent. KR1 and 2 are among the most desirable spike helmets.
