Although I'm far from an expert in judging it, it looks good to me. It has all the characteristics an original chinstrap should have, so I think it belongs to the steelhelmet you found it on.

Congratulations to these beautiful helmets (y) The Mecklenburg helmets of the Dragoon Regiments No. 17 and No. 18 were in part very unique and underwent several changes. They were initially gold-colored for both regiments and also had a cruciform spike base. However, the fluted spike was...

Very cool, thank you for sharing (y)

I‘m sorry, but when I look at the detail photos, I start to doubt nearly all of the parts. I have never seen such the folded corners of the trimm on the front visor and the rear visor. As far as I know, they weren‘t messed up so overlapping at the time. Unfortunately, the helmet eagle seems to...

It’s not the correct eagle for this helmet, but a wonderful original officer’s oldenburg dragoon eagle. A really good find, congratulations :)

Another very interesting post with a beautiful helmet. Thank you so much for all your efforts :)

Thank you very much for your opinion Philippe. All of your different opinions were very insightful and informative. I had doubts about the soft leather from the start and still can't say whether everything is correct with this chin strap. Therefore, I can't sell the chin strap with a clear...

Thank you very much for your great explanations and reference photos. I really appreciate it (y)

Beautiful helmet. Congratulations and thank you for sharing (y)

Definitely Napoleonic era or before, as the jacket is very short. It could be Prussian Saxony or Bavarian or some more, there were a lot of Hussar-Regiments who wore this light blue color. Maybe this link will help to find some comparative specimens...

Wonderful condition, thank you for sharing :)

Nice helmets Udo. Welcome to the Forum (y)

You are right, M1867 to M1887 weren’t introduced for mounted troops.

I knew that most of you would like it ;). And I'm really looking forward to seeing what else we'll find in this treasure chest 🤩

Thank you very much. It is in a quite good shape and I‘m glad to own one of Emperor Wilhelm II.:)

Here the extract from an official document about the introduction of the M1915 "Änderungen an der bayerischen Bekleidungsordnung für Mannschaften, II. Teil (Modifications to the Bavarian Clothing Regulations for Enlisted men, Part II)" from 11.11.1915, to be found in the file: BayHStA, MKr 5103...

Dear fellow collectors, I have recently been forced by the Bavarian capital archive to scan some of its contents for me. It seems this has led to the contents of many files being completely digitized (or I didn't notice these scans before and spent much money for nothing 🫣😂). However, now...
