Brian, I had one for a very long time...... A wartime helmet with chinscales on side post M91 (Fähnrich? Offizierstellvertreter? Feldwebelleutnant?) Philippe

Welcome from Schleswig-Holstein, from the North-Sea coast. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a real great place for holidays, my wife and I are loving this beautiful province! And what beautiful and unique helmets were worn there! To me, the most beautiful of the whole german Empire! Philippe

Lucky man you are! 😄 Philippe

I think this helmet already has been discussed here: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/prussian-general-officer-pickelhauben-named.12124/ Philippe

Yes, Rönnpage is a current name in Lauenburg. It would be nice to see the whole helmet... Philippe

And even EM leather infantry helmets with JzPf. unit stamps!! I saw that 2 or 3 times in the past. Philippe

Coert, are you sure that´s the bottom stamp is JR74? :unsure: I think, I see RJR74 3B, that was deployed the 2.8.14 in Hannover. Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 74 (+MG.-Kp.) ℜ Aufgestellt in Nienburg (R.Stb., II.), Oldenburg (I.) und Hannover (III.) Unterstellung: 19. Res.Div. Kommandeur...

Very cool proposal (y) (y) (y) Philippe

Hello to all, I only have bought a single time a helmet from AOK (a very mint EM FAR 9 helmet, which is very local for me). This was shortly and I was lucky to successfully conclude the transaction with Remy because the helmet was in France and was offered for a long time on the AOK homepage...

Bruno, Based on my knowledge following extensive research in the CICR lists, the following facts can be stated/confirmed: The wounded German prisoners were mostly treated in the same way as the wounded French soldiers. Not necessarily by German doctors who were also prisoners, but mostly by...

Bruno, There are three guys with the name Jost in the II/LJR118: Heinrich from Darmstadt, 8/ LJR118, wounded near Vitry-le-Francois and Fontaine between 4 and 16 September 1914: https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/296586 https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/413388 Then taken prisoner...

Bruno, I see no picts at all... :unsure: Philippe

Son of a b.....:devilish:(n)

Bruno, I do not think the wearer was a Herr H. because the letter is small. I am quite sure that this is the last letter of the name, and because of its place on the name tag, it is very possible that we have here a very short name (4 or 5 letters maximum, maybe even less). Unfortunately, there...

Bruno, you are killing us with your Hauben 😊 Unfortunately I can not the guys on the two name tags in the Verlustlisten 1914-18...It seems the last owner was the Vizewachtmeister, so I assume that this helmet became his property as he ended his military career before the war. This perlring...
