Baden Grenadier Regt 109 enlisted man 's helmet

I have been looking for this one ofr some time
I have seen several for sale by dealers but each had something
that didn't quite do it me
While this is not the best example that I have seen
it is a helmet that has not been played with
Markings ( Kammer ) on the rear visor
a little faint but there
along with my 109 officer
so off the bucket list

Steve, could it be a helmet for an Einjähriger Freiwilliger? I see the abreviations E.F. on the neckguard.
The spike also seems to be a little bit longer as usual.

Here is mine, named. Markings are also a little bit faint, dated 1911:





And in best companionship with another LGR109 helmet, dated 1914. War necessity...Big white griffins no more available... Also named, tracked and traced:

Very nice, one that's on my bucket list. I need to hurry up if I'm gonna get much of my list checked off.

Great 109s Steve, Philippe. This is one of the nicest of all Pickelhauben.

Since we have a new topic, here is another one. Mint, flawless. I got it directly in Cologne (Koeln) from the family of the soldier, who fought in WW1. Everything is original: cockades, chinstrap.

The best !
Steve

Stunning! Couldn’t be better.
All the best,

Extremely nice-

Beautiful helmet Bruno!

Bruno, that´s a great example too!!
Do you know something about the wearer? Because the Baden Kriegsstammrollen are still existing, it could be a great tracking!

My example is named two times with a Mr FALLERT. There was no FALLERT in all lists of the LGR109 during the war. The wearer was at the RJR240 that was formed at the end of August 1914 in Rastatt. The Regimentsgeschichte of the RJR240 tells us that this garrison did not have any equipment, so the near garrison of the LGR109 in Karlsruhe had to urgently help with a few trucks full with uniforms and helmets. I know another named LGR109 in collection which wearer also was in the RJR240.
Josef Fallert was taken prisoner in Paschendaele on the 20.10.14, heavy wounded. He died in Boulogne on the 21.12.14 after legs amputation...
Helmet was brought home by a guy of the "Brigade de Fusiliers Marins" from Lorient who fought in Flandern on the other side. I got the helmet 2010 direct from the family in the Bretagne.
