As usual, Bruno, it would be hard to find better helmets as yours ! Philippe

Let´s wait the opinion of Clovis57, the specialist for chinstraps (and cockades). He made on a french forum two very long studies. For my part, but I am not an expert, I do not have some problems witht this chinstrap. One of the most important thing on those hardware parts, is how the leather...

Beautiful, but why JR103? :unsure: Do you know the name of the former owner? Could you track him? AOK is selling something similar: https://ageofkingsmilitaria.com/saxon-reserve-105th-infantry-officer-pickelhaube-and-visor Unfortunately, there were two Leutnant der Reserve M(artin) Schulz in...

Hello, We have some longer discussion on another forum about the possibility of another regimental stamp 3IR.... We know there was an original stamp 31LIR for the Landwehr-Infanterie Regiment 31. I do not want to post the picts here, because both concerned helmets and Überzüge are not in my...

Bruno, I do not know what to say...Certainly one of the rarest M15 officer helmet ever! Philippe

Thank you Bruno. Dark green. Helmet worn by Leutnant Otto Bögl, 4/ KBJR19. And with some period newspapers under it, mentioning the name of a fellow officer of the same unit and company (Leutnant Heinrich Riedner, KIA 9.5.17) who subscribes to this newspaper (Fränkischer Kurier from Nürnberg...

Only one Walter Dank in the whole Verlustlisten, Leutnant der Landwehr from Königsberg. Lightly wounded summer 1918. https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/8871776 I think the other name could be Bürgin...But there are a lot of them in the Verlustlisten... Philippe

Once again, a superlative one 👏 Philippe

Hi, I would rather say: 3FB = 3 Fahrende Batterie (I do not think this is a "8" and we have here Batterie, not Bataillon)... About the eventuality of brass fittings that have been painted feldgrau: I own a M95 EM FAR78 saxon helmet, with brass fittings (and silver center of the wappen) that...

👏👏 I dot not like officer helmets, with only one exception: the M15 (y) The only one in my collection, a bavarian one. Philippe

If someone from here decided to buy this Weitze helmet (it is now reserved), good for him to know that the chinstrap ist not original but a later modern replacement... Philippe

I remember well our interesting discussion, Bruno (y) Another one: Philippe

Another small mostly unknown exception: the small state of Schaumburg-Lippe, whose recruits served in the III/JR55 and JB7. From 1867 to 1897, the white-red-blue cockade was worn on the left, the prussian on the right of the helmet. This feature disappeared on March 22, 1897, and the...

The Bückeburger Jäger wore te colors of Schaumburg-Lippe which were red and blue, nothing to do with Nassau.. Philippe

It will be very hard to find a better EM GFR! (y) Philippe

The cockades should be inverted ;) Nice helmet! The name my be Ruhland. A lot of Ruhland in the bavarian army...Do you maybe see a written unit number? Philippe

Great picts! The JR405 Überzug was pomeranian... The Busche says: Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 405 Das Regiment wurde am 10.6.1916 als „Infanterie-Regiment Stettin“ vom Stellv. Gen. Kdo. II. A.K. aufgestellt und am 6.7.1916 numeriert. Unterstellung: 202. I.Div. Kommandeur: Major Goltz (Gren.R.Nr...

Hi, JR167 ist not matching, cause its IIIB was in the other Mühlhausen, the one in Thüringen (not Mühlhausen in Elsass). I and IIB were in Kassel. But JR142 (Stab, I and IIIB) were in Mühlhausen in Elsass. IIB was in Müllheim in Baden (from 1908 on). Philippe
