Reserve-Landwehr of Garde eagles, with Landwehrkreuz and without the Vaterland-Bandeau, are very rare, as there was no Guard Reserve Regiment (GRIR). Here, the plate is self-explanatory, as it's not a “gardist” but an Eisenbahn. View attachment 61964
Hello François,Nice, especially with its goog jugulaire
Extra niceExactly ! but with Eagle with Landwehrkreuz, without Vaterland-Bandeau.
I take this opportunity to add my felt G.F.R.. No re-drilling of the eyelets, which are at the correct original spacing. View attachment 61972
Forgive me my deep ignorance...Nice, especially with its goog jugulaire
I think it's a mistake,= good.Forgive me my deep ignorance...: : : and maybe it's a stupid question but....
what do you mean with "goog"
Thanks Thierry....I thought so, but I wanted to be sure it wasn't a particular type of chinstrap.....you have to be patient with beginners....I think it's a mistake,= good.
Great infos Thierry.....thanksIt's true that it's a bit “technical”. For the Leib Infanterie Regiment (115R), for the first or Leib/Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Grand-ducaux (100, 109, 119,123, ...) for the Pioniers regiments and other technical troops, for certain regiments of the Garde à pied (1,5 and GFusilierR) ...
the fittings were in maillechort (silver).
---The M91 chinstrap keys and slides for service and campaign are in nickel silver (silver).
---The M91 chinstrap scales for parade are brass (gold). Except for :
-1GzuF Regiment (Garde-Regiment zu Fuß).
-115 LIR Hessois. (Leib-Garde-Infanterie-Regiment).
-100 GR Saxon.
Superb helmets, Steve.
Skilled workI bought this for a handful of peanuts at a garage sale in LA. Dismantled but complete. It turned up quite nice after I put it back together. IDed to Kraftfahr Battalion (motor vehicle drivers, usually pictured wearing leather jackets and caps with goggles).
