Wonderful trifecta , Helmet, Trichter and boards.

Brings back memories of our old friend Steve, GOD rest his soul. when he showed a helmet, he always had the all the bells and whistles.

Great display.

Hello Mike,
It's truly fantastic!
The condition, etc., is superb. A truly beautiful “Major” from the regiment!
Do we have a provenance here?
Best regards
Frank

hello MIKE H

Magnificent helmet! But I think there is a slight problem: the IR 91 did not wear a *Harbusch* (see Laine, page 60).

hello ,
I just checked Volume 1 of Larcade; sure enough, it shows a white and red Harbusch for the musicians... Could there be a mistake in the Lainé book? What do you think?
