Last picts... The same here, it is easy to spot his glass eye with its dead stare in place of his left eye : Philippe

The album.... Juste an example among all the annual lists: Walter Holste, second name from the bottom, for the 1925 meeting: One can see here his left glass eye: Philippe

On the other hand, we also have some small but pretty nice museums, having owned a very fine collection of authentic objects. As Bruno says in the case of the Wandsbek Museum, these small local museums were able to come into being thanks to post-war donations from veterans of unit(s) from the...

One can see on the back that this Wappen has been broken and repaired, and then painted gold??? Philippe

Yes, of course Bruno, look at all the small bubbles at the bottom....Buchwald sent me a better pict of the Wappen, here it is. Curiously, this time right-side-up . So he must have removed the Wappen from the shell... Then why did he said, he did not want to take the Wappen from the helmet? We...

What a good joke!!! Helmet made by a company that manufactures soccer balls 😂😂 OMG!!! Philippe

It seems that the museum managers should brush up their basics :rolleyes: A Oldenburg Fuss Artillerie Regiment has never existed...But a Feld Artillerie Regiment (62). And there were no Bataillons in such units, but Batterien. So 2. and 3. Batterie from the 1. Abteilung FAR62 is here correct...

Ach!! Alles klar! I already thought, as I saw the pict, that this helmet was one of Antik-Buchwald fabulous collection 😂 This person is not only deceitful but also rude and sorely lacking in courtesy. Just look at his Frankenstein gallery...

Very beautiful! I particularly love "white" EM helmets! Philippe

Bruno, Softly and "minimally invasive" cleaned, I agree, without strongly polish the Wappen and other metal fittings if the leather shell is looking old. I think that metal helmets (Kürassiere, JzPf.) could be an exception, but you´ll never be able to resuscitate a leather helmet with some...

I am in favour of respecting objects that have aged gently for over 100 years. You don't give an elderly person a facelift either. The result would be anachronistic, not to say ridiculous. But that´s only my two cents too. Collectors who mostly engage in this type of ‘restoration’ often achieve...

Yes, I agree. You can also find some name tags in other places on a helmet: between the loops but inside the rear of the shell too, or even on the neckguard. And they can be made of paper or even of cloth. Philippe

No officer with this name at the JR92 (n) http://dfg-viewer.de/show?tx_dlf%5Bdouble%5D=0&tx_dlf%5Bid%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fdigital.wlb-stuttgart.de%2Fmets%2Furn%3Anbn%3Ade%3Absz%3A24-digibib-kxp175005888X7.xml&tx_dlf%5Bpage%5D=609&cHash=dafe791898963809876c79e3de400ad1 Philippe

Hi Bruno, Yes, that´s a second variant (y) You must always check the following thing: if the last letter of the abbreviation is indeed an ‘l’ , it is higher than the preceding ‘t’. In this case, we have “Bataillon” . If the last two letters are identical, as in your example, Bruno, then we have...

Hey Cloclo, It's one of my favourite sports 🤗 😂😇 Philippe

Field artillery regiments were subdivided into two or three Abteilungen. Foot artillery regiments were subdivided into two or three Bataillonen. Most of the time, each of those Abteilungen and Bataillonen comprised three Batterien. Here, because we are in a Rekruten Depot of a Fußartillerie...

Same remarks + question! 😊 Maybe some stamps inside the shell too? Philippe

Beautiful helmet that I missed! The patina is awesome! Please, let it as it is. Philippe

Bruno, I see that you know the wonderful L´Argonnaute (y) A real photographic treasure! Philippe
