It's the ‘Weissenburger’ tin helmet plate you're looking for.

That's right for 0fficiers, but the ‘Alter Art’ headdress was retained for ‘troop’ Eigentum (one-year contract).

There are also often regimental number stamps in the markers, but the ink disappears easily from the marker. Caution: The ‘felts’ had very thin (1mm2) post side keys because the arrowhead-shaped lug is in the middle.

I agree with that. The spiked helmet is complete, and in good condition. However, I don't like the French kepi. The B.H. general's kepi is a contemporary fantasy. That said, the spiked helmet and carrying case are worth much more than €300.

Incredible display, thanks for sharing. Cheers,

Beautiful!!! Too bad the S.O.S. is on another continent. But I know a few French collectors - dealers, who make the trip every year... not for leisure, but for the job.

Hello, Very pretty. Just one small correction: ---Chevauleger and Feld-Artillerie. ;) The M86/15 (16 for Bavaria) dismounted artillery helmet was identical to the M96/15 infantry helmet, with a point, or with a ball after April 1916.

Hello, In France, we often find helmets in felt, without the liner, which is a problem. Here the shell is in excellent condition, clean, the post sides are in very good condition, never touched. The missing parts are easy to find on the market (Prussian infantry spike, line eagle). However...

A beautiful photo of your grandfather. He was well decorated. Shooting prize and fencing certificate. (Lanzenfechten Abzeichen). It is based on the Prussian cuirassier's Pallasch, inspired by the 1816 French cuirassier's ‘Latte’.

https://spikehelmets.pl/gallery/helmet-plates/infantry-prussia/plate-04/48.html The beautiful reproduction from Spikehelmet has nothing to do with the 2 stars above. For example, here the SUUM QUIQUE is in one piece with the olive branches, it is molten metal in a mould. On the 2 authentic...

or W ... for Wunderlich ;)

or a T... for Thiele😊 but the model with the concentric spokes in the centre is also very good.

To accompany the subject, here's a view of my TB18, with its unscrewable skirted tip, and a view of one of my 115s with its small unscrewable tip end.

no, translator's error. I meant that €800 is the price of the left-hand helmet, in which case the other two are ‘free’.

My bible : Jean-Louis Larcade Tome 1 page 55 : --- ‘It was in 1856 that the Grand Duke of Baden granted nickel silver fittings to his Leib-Garde-Regiment. ---In 1867, the 6 Baden regiments were equipped ‘Prussian style’, and all had brass (gold) fittings. ---It was on 11 June 1885 that the...

A non-commissioned officer's helmet or one bought privately is going to be hard to find. Go for an enlisted man's helmet, not an officer's. Here are two helmets that might be suitable. The one on the left still has the large M1886 plate, while the one on the right has the M1914 configuration...

https://www.weitze.net/militaria/87/Bayern_Helmemblem_fuer_die_Pickelhaube_Offiziere__458087.html No, that's not right either (plate M1896 for the infantry ‘troop’ and not ‘officer’ as said by Helmut !!! The screws at the back show a private purchase plate for a one year enlisted man. The plate...

Hello Rob, At 50$ you haven't taken any risks, even beautiful reproductions sell for much more. What puzzles me is the absence of the large central screw with the wing nut. It was used to quickly exchange the crest eagle with the point.

Beautiful helmet, beautiful markings! I'd like to take this opportunity to point out the fluted skirted tip, specific to the TB Hessois. The 117 has only the tip. Idem for the Dragons Hessois, point with skirt, but white, contrary to the L.I.R.115 which had the small point only which was...

I don't have a good feeling about this eagle. I don't like the little rim under the base. Some reproductions are easy to identify... but others are formidable.
