Welcome Piotr. From which part of Polen are you come from?

Yes no relation with the fight of JR 117 in 1914. In the case of a wounded soldier sent in a Feldlazarett, there is no reason to see such a writing, as the soldier here didn't become prisonner after.

Very interesting ! I suppose there is no german name in the helmet ?

Very curious. Wonder if the sale goes to end.

A exceptionnal set pickelhaube/Uberzug ! As OJR 91 raised I/RJR 74, there is a logical connection between the two units. I would say a lack of plates which needs to take what was avalaible. The stores asked help and received what was available.

I made the same observation with Uberzug. I found lots of Uberzug but only a few Saxon Uberzug.

Hi Is it possible to have a picture of the inner side of the Uberzug in the area of the numbers 112 ?

Excellent. The trace of the letter in the leather gives no doubt of the authenticity ! All helmets from JR 88 have not the regiment mark.

Exc A very scare number on a Uberzug !

Excellent these pictures !

Nice, especially with its goog jugulaire

Hello Thierry The stamp is wonderful, Landsturm marks are so uncommon. As for instance the Ersatz Bataillon. Nice find !

Thanks

Very nice ! Are any numbers or former numbers on the Uberzug ?

Generally, such prices appear when two auctioners really want the item. If such another shoulder straps is offered in auction, I guess the final price would be lower.
