This is a perfect helmet and pair of shoulder boands. 2 nd drg is the helmet that make me interested in this hobby but took me 5 yrs to find a good one.

Hello Paul, I am sorry to hear about your accident. I think private deals are the best way. I have sold helmets at US and European auctions in the past. They pay quickly but margins are low and they may not stage your helmets very well if they compete with their internal buys which has higher...

Hi, I thought so too. But then I zoomed in and noticed at least three extra holes @ 2, 4, and 7 o’clock positions. I have it seen anything like this before.

Thank you for posting this video. It is well done. Please check 1st Grd helmet at 2:40. Spike base has extra holes which does not make any sense. I do not think Kaiser would have worn helmet with extra holes on spike base! I think real one is sitting on someone’s collection…….:)

Thank you for posting this video. I was about to share it with forum…..

Thanks.

Thanks. I am not sure this is possible without without official published order. This is the second example I have seen so far.

This is a very interesting Wappen. There is flame on top of the scepter which is rare. I had a helmet with Wappen like this few years back. l think it is older version of grenadier eagles but not sure.

Thank you for posting these photos. Position of the screws on back of the wappen is different than majority of the examples. Screws on most wappens are horizontal which is rare based on my experience.

Well done research. Thank you for posting these pictures.

Siam plate would have an elephant it’s design. I have not seen any military or civil insignia from Siam with dragon. But I can not say that I have seen all. Having said this, few princes from Siam when the country was called Siam, were educated in Germany. There are pictures of Thai royal...

Wappen on the helmet is unique. It looks like a dragon but hard to determine because of the angle.

Hello Skipper John, Condition of shell and painting is superb. I doubt this is a period item or even post war unless it has been repainted in last few days. I would pass unless it is full of ”good stuff”.

Hello Herr MLO, These are very desirable photos. I did not know polished helmets were against regulation for military parades.

Is this a police helmet? Why spike is not fluted?
