Thanks for sharing. Nice helmets !! (y) A few clarifications are in order: ---The infantry helmet is an M96 effectively modeled on the “Prussian M95”, but here it is an “Eigentum”. Extra-Helm for one-year voluntary enlistments, it was not supplied by the Kammer. The peak is too high, the edge...

To keep you waiting, here's mine: It's by name from Offizierstellverter Max Pause. It has all the features of an officer's helmet, except : ---The stars. ---The 0ldenburg star, which is the “troop” model.

Here are the photos of the books: I translate: Nicolas Frédéric Pierre de 0ldenburg was Grand Duke from 1853 to 1900. He allied himself with Prussia in 1866, and by agreement of July 15, 67, the 0ldenburg contingent was integrated into the Prussian army in the 0JR91. During the fighting around...

Yes, : ---from 1861 name: Train-Bataillon. ---from 01 April 1914 name: Train-Abteilung.

OK, I'll attach a quick photo, and an excerpt from an article about of this episode.

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...

With its large brass plate, this is a Dragon helmet. The top point should pass under the point base.

Like the friends above, a reproduction that doesn't really imitate an authentic plate. 😁

Beautiful helmets, thank's for sharing.

And here's his helmet, after switching to Landwehr. ;)

Yes, a “restored” helmet... even a reassembled, composite one.

Congratulations. I have some French and German hairstyles for children. A Guard mitre And an artillery helmet The shell is made of vulkanfiber, and the chinstrap is made of cardboard covered with gilded sheet metal, and scalloped at the press. Another one that's not mine.

I agree with all the congratulations.

Hello, Rare mounting, seen on the M60 foot guard eagles, Eigentum-Extra-Helm guard eagles, or on the NCO School instructors' eagles of the line. -M95 private purchase, (drawing M60 Alter Art), Stern-guard with screw-nut but Adler-guard with bridges and leather corner ; -M95 US...

Thanks Glenn, I said that from memory, I'll look it up in the ‘Pietsch’: The gilded brass fittings are confirmed but, according to Pietsch, the visor is square and the chinstrap scales are convex. I stand corrected. Thanks again Glenn.

Hello MAP, Nice helmet . (y) Everything's fine, just the 2 modern hex nuts, and a washer, with the centre hole too big. But these are unimportant details.

Hello Sandy, A delightfull discussion. Photo filled with breathtaking détail and meaning.

And here's another montage, this time in reverse... a Grenadier eagle, transformed into a Guard eagle. This is a one-year volontary helmet. An eaglet is affixed to the acanthus knob, and a Guards star to the breast (Koenig). The cross of the sword remains as an S.

I think that the eagle of the Guard without a star was ‘hijacked’ to honour the King's infantry regiment, and to distinguish it from a Grenadier regiment. So a specific eagle for the KIR145 after 1913, which was neither infantry of the line, nor Grenadier, nor Guards with the star. However, as...
