I'm particularly fond of 0ldenburg helmets, because during the battle of St-Privat-Gravelotte on August 18, 1870, the Grand Duke requisitioned the farmhouse I now live in for his headquarters.
So I have a 0JR officer, 1 FAR62 2B and 3B, 1 DR19 Fähnrich, a RJR78, and several 0JR 91 M95s, 1 0JR91 M15 and 1 M67.

I do have two D R 19 officers and a FAR e m helmet
I thought that I was doing good until I saw your post
I need to step aside for you
Excellent
Now you need to post a photo of the HQ that you now live in
I would like to see that part of your story
Thanks
Steve
