Just saw this request, sorry for the delay

That may explain what I took to be IR93 plates, they are actually instructors with the NCO School Wappen.

Did you notice some of the Wappen worn? I saw at least two NCO with Guard plates, an Officer with a Baden, an Officer with an IR 92 and a couple of NCOs with IR 93 (or similar type).

I know these guys, nice people but---. They pay top dollar for stuff and sell for top dollar plus. Their knowledge of Imperial Head gear is very limited and don't always end up with the best stuff.

Small sizes survived because all the big one were issued and used. Not that long age a few collector friends and I got together, looking at an original uniform one of them commented about people being " a lot smaller back then". It made me think of the first issue uniforms I received upon...

Well it has only taken 13 months for me to reply to the request for a photo. Sorry, there was a point last year I was having an issue with the site and I never saw the request.

What is with the chin strap and cockades?

Have to agree about the case being for a phone, I have one very similar to it.

The monogram VR with a king's crown is odd in its own right.

Merry Christmas to all

Thanks, a rather pointed topic.

Good luck with your project. Rear spines are not all the same size.

Beautiful helmet. My only question is about the fasteners for the spike base, should they be star heads?

Welcome to the group. Looking forward to learning more about these helmets.

Beautiful set
