Everyone, Thanks tons for helping me correctly indentify this helmet. I would hate to keep calling it a pioneer with silver chin scales ](*,) There is so much I still have to learn, and I appreciate all the great feedback from you all. Ron, I just returned from leave and am TDY again, but...

This is a helmet I picked up last month. From what I can gather it is a Pioneer helmet with silver chin scales, an associate told me it was for a 1 year volunteer or NCO candidate? Spike seems to be longer than normal and is unscewable. There is no bandeau and it has been suggested by Jim...

What a great helmet. Nice that you know so much about it!

Joe, That is entirely possible. The wappen has been on the helmet for quite some time though as there is a nice shadow on the helmet itself, that proves nothing and there originally could have been something else there. Still, I am happy with it and got it in a trade for a 109th Baden Wappen I...

I have had a few requests to post a bystander helmet that was in my first post, a Prussian police helmet that I picked up recently.Any help in identifying what type of police etc would be greatly appreciated!! Spike screws off Cannot make out any legible markings except a pencil marking size...

I have never seen one of these either. Thanks for posting, it truly seems I learn or see something new on this site every single day. What a great community! =D>

Brian, I have see some of these floating around the flea markets here in Germany also. Luckily I have not fallen victim.

James, Great helmet!!!

Ron, I've always landed in Ramstein going to and from Iraq and Afghanistan. 8)

Ed, I will post photos of that helmet and wappen this weekend.

Brian, No other markings that I have found. There appears to have been sticker or marking next to the other one (like a name tag I have seen other helmets) but there is just residue now from what I can tell. I will continue to look though and maybe I can find something more. v/r Eric

Joe, I will measure the cross and then do a posting on that helmet as well, so as to get you some more info. It will be about a week or so as I am going TDY again in the morning. Is there any way to identify the unit besides it being the 1st Squadron of ?? Regiment? I love this forum and have...

This is my first post so please excuse any rookie mistake I make. I have been interested in Imperial militaria for years, but just got the "fever" since being stationed in Germany last year. I just pickeup up this 1897 Model Dragoon helmet form the Kube auction this past saturday. I could use...

I recently purchased this and a few others from Jim. They have been a wealth of information, and have helped me steer clear of some bad purchases. I highly recommed this and his other books!

Outstanding Photo!!

Great pictures! I am going to have to make it SOS when I get back to the states!

Very nice!!!
