I didn't quite understand what you meant, but now I know. Thank you for your response

Congratulations on the book, but when it comes to the renovation, you presented it a bit incorrectly because the photos do not clearly show the effect of your work.

I didn't think about the color of the insert, your opinion changed it. The eagle screws look like they were originally soldered. Best regards to all.

Pickelhaube of an old grenadier. Marked in the center is B.A II. What do you think?

I wonder why there were some differences in the Bavarian army. Perhaps it was related to the person of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was anti-Prussian. He did not strive for the unification of the army on the model of Prussia, which is why the pickelhaube was introduced in the entire army only...

Prussia for example had a general rule, for officers the crown of an eagle with empty places and for soldiers a full crown

I wonder what causes the empty places in the crowns of lions in some wappens. This is often the case in generals' and officers' wappens, and not at all in soldier's wappens. But general and officer wappens in lion crowns are also often filled.

Now I wonder if a pickelhaube in this form, a combination of fittings, could have been used by a Leib soldier?

Thank you very much for deciphering the letters, it was very helpful. Regards

Hello, I am thinking about marking my pickelhaube. It wasn't noticeable at first, but after gently cleaning the letter J.L.B. appeared. Is that a Infanterie Landwehr Bataillon? Inside the B. I. 1912 stamp. Pickelhaube are Bavarian pioneers with an officer range added.

Great job Sandy, thanks to this article I learned a bit more about the Jæger inscription embossed on the inside of the 1871 Pickelhaube fitting. I found some information about the Wilhelm Jaeger factory here https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/O-104256-20140930-2

Thanks for the answer, it was very helpful. Regards

Hello, I am considering this bavarian wappen. Most of the ones I've seen had the reserve cross applied and this one is kind of pressed in. I wonder what it depended on the regiment, function, although it seems to me most likely that it is about the manufacturer. If anyone has more information on...

Hello, I wanted to introduce you to a rather interesting helmet. I don't have much information about him. It is a vulkanfiber helmet that was intended to replace the fireman's leather pickelhaube. It was experimented with in the early 1930s but the material proved unsuitable and light alloy...

Perhaps the first purpose of the pickelhaube was for the Landgandermie and the type of troops was bypassed. Although Landgendarmerie were formed into brigades, not regiments.

Thanks for all the advice they are very helpful to me. More photos from the inside, below the inscription LG1890 the holes left by the fireman's badge are plugged up.

Would this configuration be good? Knopfy would have to be that type https://www.kpemig.de/Knopf-91-fuer-eine-Pickelhaube-Messing_6 , but I wonder if a strip of scales attached to rosettes would be good too?

Thank you very much for the information and photos sent, it's good because I have such an adler so I'll make a pickelhaube like the one on the left.

Thanks a lot for your answer, it helped me. Best regards

Hello, recently I got a pickelhaube, it was converted into a fireman's pickelhaube. I was convinced it was a model grenadier from 1895. Inside, however, there is the marking L.G 1890, which would indicate that it is a Landgendarmerie pickelhaube. I wonder what model it was, it had the plain rear...
