Very interesting and unique. Not only is it named to him on the sweatband, the addition of the large, crowned Hohenzollern eagle shield makes this busby stand out as belonging to him. Thanks Steve, for posting this photo. Best Wishes, Alan

Fantastic helmet Steve, and thanks for posting the image of the music meister of Grenadier Regiment 1. First time I have seen a closeup of the music meister swallow nests. Are the shoulder boards specifically for that rank as well? Best Wishes, Alan

Offered for sale is an original wartime leather chinstrap with steel fittings, for an M16 or M17 Stahlhelme. One of the M91 attachments is bent a little bit, as seen in the photos. The leather strap has a tear which is approximately 2/3 across the width of the strap, so it is fragile in this...
