BINGO!!! (y) 🤗 Glad to see I could identify this guy for you! Without the first name...It would have been easier with it 😁 Therefore: Always examine your objects meticulously from every angle!!! They sometimes still talk to you! Philippe

Thank you Kai for your answer ;) And sorry, because your first name, I though you were located in Germany...Kai is also a common first name in Germany, especially in the northern Schleswig-Holstein where I am living. I love those named researches, they are my "speciality" because for my part...

Hello, Thank you for the story but I think you are on the wrong way....Do not forget that the cap is showing Unteroffizier with Portepee cockades, so this guy probably later promoted to the rank of a Vizefeldwebel or Feldwebel. The guy you have tracked (born 26.10.86 and Kutscher in the...

Kammer stamped pieces always are the best stuff!!! Philippe

Here is mine. It seems it still was too hot for the wearer because he destroyed the ventilation flap at the inside of helmet and he brazenly drilled a big hole in the helmet's dome :oops: Philippe

Yes, this two Wappen are 100% private purchase... Not officer and not really in compliance with the regulations for service helmets issued by the Kammer. This two private purchased Wappen may have been worn on a OYV or a senior NCO (Feldwebel) helmet, only to be worn outside of garrison. I...

Here is an old pattern Wappen on a M-Strelitz helmet (thanks to Cloclo) 😊 Philippe

Sometimes, one can also encounter an older pattern of M-Strelitz Wappen. With this pattern, you will never have this problem with this 3 soldered points because the points are far apart from each other. Here on a quite old M-Strelitz bugle. You can encounter this particular center on older...

Hey Tony ;) Here are two exemples which are very good one, 100% authentic, Thanks to Bruno for the first one and Ritscher for the second one(y) This third Wappen ist fake: This one too, on sell by Antik-Buchwald.....The same three soldered points...

I think we have been read, item is now not available anymore. Some items are really dangerous...Mistakes are then very expensive.... Philippe

This could have been a private purchased saxon helmet...The ghost of the Wappen is very similar... Then pushed up to a M-strelitz as a parts helmets...Just my two cents.... Philippe

Hello Gentlemen, I have headaches when I am looking at that M-Strelitz Wappen... I do not like the back that is showing that there already were some pretty new "solder works" and even the front of this wappen that is showing three points soldered together. This détail is seen on ALL M-Strelitz...

Beautiful!! Great to see that there was a similar way to stamp the helmets of the DR7. Here is mine, same years of regimentation (1904-1905), but 4 Eskadron (not 3.E.). And Garnitur I instead of Garnitur II in your helmet. Philippe

Hi, This is JR57 (with garrison in Wesel) and then LJR53 that was formed at the mobilisation in the city of Wesel. JR 57 and LJR53 both VII AK. Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 53 ℜ Aufgestellt in Wesel (R.Stb., I., II., III.) Unterstellung: 27. gem. L.Brig. Kommandeur: Oberstleutnant Thorbeck...

Hi, Obviously Landwehr-Eisenbahn-Bau-Kompanie 4. Here a Feldpostkarte with a stamp of this small railway unit. Philippe

A so-called repair carried out by a workshop (BJA and so on) is often one of the favourite arguments used by certain sellers to offload composite helmets or manipulated items. This is just as bogus as the argument of a change of regiment to explain double holes. Philippe

Wow, I would love to see more picts of the JR41 Überzug 🤗 Do you have the matching helmet under? Do you see regimental stamps in it? A very hard to find unit, JR41 from Tilsit and Memel (East-Prussia). I love those east-prussian units a lot!!! Philippe

The wearer could eventually be Leutnant Günther Prinz von Schönburg-Waldenburg, 2. Eskadron of the GDC in the Rangliste 1907 (page 327). One find him in the 1911 Rangliste, page 40, as Offizier à la suite der Armee, the same in the 1913 Rangliste (page 42). In the Ehrenrangliste 1914-18, one...

I do not understand this topic :rolleyes: :oops: Because the helmet still is on sale...

Very interesting! I already saw this name tag pattern for officers, showing the head of the god Mercury with his winged headdress: I think I see on your name tag: Leutnant August L??????????? As he was a Leutnant der Reserve, we can unfortunately not find him in the Ehrenrangliste 1914-18...
