Interesting — I had issues with the helmet’s spike twice. Security at the airport in Germany wasn’t sure whether it counted as a sharp object. Each time, the police were called, and they then cleared it, but they wanted to know exactly what kind of helmet it was and were always very interested.😃...

Very nice! My great grandfather got one in WW I. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you for confirming! By the way, does anyone know why the family closed down the museum and started selling the items? Best wishes, GardeUlan

Catalog is out: https://www.hermann-historica.de/upload/106/m/407/ Many cavalry helmets and cavalry related items. A fellow collector told me that they were from the Vornholz museum. https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/kavalleriemuseum-vornholz.5667/page-3#post-143844 Best wishes...

This blue stamp is a regimental seal, which was used to mark and authenticate documents and correspondence. These seals served to prove that a document belonged to a specific regiment, thereby confirming its authenticity. At the time, it was not used in helmets. Unfortunately some people try to...

Thank you for sharing! I like these pictures from military shows! Good luck with the hunt! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Not trying to be a lecturer or anything, but that’s gotta be from the Garde Schützen or the Garde Jäger Battalion. The Air guys and telegraph units had silver rosettes on their shakos. Very nice piece! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you very much again for this is very nice thread. I‘m a big fan of these fabulous miters! They are the link to the times of Frederic the Great and Prussian glory. I might add a little extra 😀. An original storing case. Best wishes, GardeUlan.

That's a very good question. When I look at the helmets shown on the internet, there seem to be two variants of the „1697“ on the officer helmets. My guess is that the Wappen were produced by different manufacturers. There is the version where the year is incorporated in the Wappen and the...

😍 Wonderful! The holy grail! Congratulations! Best wishes, GardeUlan

T Thank you very much for showing! Great helmets! I like Hessian helmets a lot, especially IR 117. That’s mine. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you for showing! I like that M 1867 helmet. I share 2nd. Leibhusar’s point of view. Still a nice helmet. Just to compare: https://ww2-militaria-shop.de/Militaria-World-War-I/ww1-militaria-spiked-helmets---headgear/Rider-caterpillar-helmet-model-things-1867.html Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that. It's one of my favorite pieces. I first wanted to buy it back in 2005, but I didn’t stand a chance. That’s why I was even more thrilled when I finally managed to get the exact same piece a few years ago. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you very much for showing! A great head gear! I like the Hanover Garde Jäger! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Very interesting. I never realised this. This was my helmet until last year. It has the scroll downward and I never had doubts. For me the Wappen was beyond doubt. More pictures here: https://www.weitze.net/militaria/12/Preussen_Pickelhaube_fuer_Generale__492912.html Best wishes, GardeUlan

Very nice! I like the 2nd lancers! That’s mine and I got somewhere a Trappist beer glass, too. 😀 Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you very much for posting these pictures! Isn’t it the same helmet on the fist (from Semino) and the second picture (from Kube)? Later Weitze sold it. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Very nice helmet!!! From what I can see it’s green and therefore Jäger, but I can be wrong. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Great! Thank you very much for showing! I like the old Hanover banners, too! Best wishes, GardeUlan
