Hi The medal is indeed a "Jubilaums Erinnerungsmedaille 1898", gilt bronze, red ribbon (The Crown Jubilee Medal of 1898 ). The porteepee seems to be an officer one. Best regards Eric

7 + 1 ! Allegedly, there were also 1847 buckles worn in Hanover. There was a specific medaillon for this German state (with horse?). So, we count 8 different military types of the 1847 belt buckle. Eric

Hi This is the last version of the Bavarian Pickelhaube, around 1914 (wappen without leaves). Although it is not my period, it looks like an honest OFF pickelhaube to me. The Wappen has its 3 crowns voided, which is good. The spike is tall (extra spike) The "Vergoldung" is very dirty and has...

This is a good view of the different uniformes worn in Austria and Germany around 1900. It should be noticed the wearing of a German dress by Franz Ferdinand. So find it, just for the pleasure of the eyes ! Eric

Yes, I was just spoken about the helmet on E bay, very far from Peter's one, which is in the best condition I have seen The wrong helmet on E bay is indeed a combination of a French one (2 holes for French Marine insigna or maybe Gendarmerie) and a German colonial plate (maybe a copy) Best...

Conclusion.......... = save your money !

Hi, Just a view of the back of the Sachsen plate And just arrived today, a pair of epauletten of the 6th Ulan Regt. Not very good condition, unfortunately. Eric

Just for expert eyes: model 1860 Oldenburg model 1860 "old regiment" model 1871 Pionner model 1867 Sachsen model 1847 Bavarian belt buckle (about 1886 in fact) very classical model 1895 Prussian plate and belt buckle Eric

Hi...

Yes, indeed :oops: . When I wrote a W moniogram, it was mainly an example of what we can generally find on a policeman plate. If somebody has a pictures with all the Land and Cities police plate, I am interested! Eric

Yes Joe, it is a policeman (communal police ) plate without its monogram (W) I would not bid on it too. If you like this kind on stuff, go to Sergio / militiar online.de Better quality, better prices. Eric

Yes. agree again. For this reason, I was bidding on it up to 538e. Next time... Eric

Yes, I agree with Chas. This is the store for the Bavarian. So it is good with this helmet. However I don't like the last "I"....the ink has been altered or... Let's wait for another one later. Eric

Yes ! Thank you!

Only one Grenadier Regiment wore this FWR Wappen plate (called "old regiments" plate), during a short period of time: the 2nd Gren Regt. Afterwards they wore the normal Grenadier Eagle (like the Garde Eagle but without Central Wappen). This pickelhaube is a 1895 model, and the FWR Wappen plate...

The second helemt, on leather, is NOT a good one. I would not buy it. Eric
