Steve, Because this helmet ist stamped with FR34, it has beeen first worn at the I or the II B in Stettin. The III/FR34 in Swinemünde did not had this Wappen on the helmets, only the classic line eagle. Then, because this helmet is showing a reserve cross, it moved probably to the Regiment stab...

Here we go 😊 Larcade I, page 153. Quite rare stamp of the II Bezirkskommando Cassel, 44. Infanterie Brigade. Jean Louis Larcade made a big mistake, pretending this helmet was from the 2/ JR44.... This exact helmet was sold beginning of 2023 in french auction. The buyer could find another...

For my part, I only buy a helmet if I can track the wearer and his military career before I purchase it. Today, there are a lot of possibilities to make such research. Concerning both helmets presented here, I would like to see more picts, but I´m afraid to say, they won´t do the thing better...

Does someone know how much did helmet # 43? (FR34). Thank you. Philippe

Hi, Now sold? I could be interested if not! Philippe

Hi, There are so many variations, how the spikes unscrew for officer helmets. To my humble understanding, the pure M15 officer helmets always have rosettes on M91side posts, aside from the detachable spike with grey "button" under it, no matter if screw or bayonet fixation. The bavarian one...

How true, Steve! Sometimes even extremely hard to see, as on my LGR8. Philippe

As this is a Ersatz helmet, the special wappen of these rare regiments were very often replaced by the classic prussian line eagle , for the sake of simplicity. Here is your guy, 5/FR34: https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/171190 Philippe

Hi Brian, The unit stamp on the left ist not TB18 but TB25. As Larcade wrote, the hessian TB25 was formed 1890. In the year 1899, the XVIII Armee Korps was created and TB25 joined it. On the 26.03.1901, the TB25 was renamed TB18. As this helmet is a 1900 one, all is perfect here (y) Philippe

Fine OYV helmet. Philippe

Here is mine, same pattern of Wappen / Feldzeichen mounting. Philippe

Just "dans son jus" (y) 😊 Philippe

As one should expect on this early M91 pattern, rear trim without ventilation and unique to the LGR109, a six holes ventilated spike neck. Wappen should have screws and nuts instead of loops... Philippe

Obviously a war time mix of brass and iron fittings...It would be interesting to make the magnetic test, especially on the rear trim. Philippe

The very last M95 helmets were made at the beginning of 1915. They are looking exactly the same as the pre-war M95 helmets, including the black liner. This PB helmet is one of these. Further, the marking RBA 18 is the sign of a wartime fabrication. The Wappen and the spike base are obviously a...

Too much money for a simple M15 Baden helmet, not regimentally marked....2000 Euro.... Philippe

And Weitze also sold this year a similar helmet with this kind of declassification stamps.

I think I see a "1" on the left of the "2". There were some units which did not use the I and II and III to designate the declassification of helmets during periodic equipment inspections, but used 1 and 2. I own a named M95 prussian helmet, first JR85 and later moved to a guy attached to the...

So do I (y) Philippe
