Thank you very much for posting this helmet. The Bavarian Bürgerwehr is unfortunately underestimated. As far as I remember this is the first post referring to these units. I’d like to share my helmet which is an officer of the cavalry. I bought it in 1988 from Kube in his former shop in Munich...

Impressive! Thank you so much for sharing these pictures! I was not aware of this museum covering hessian military history. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Interesting helmet. It should look like this: https://www.weitze.com/militaria/92/Preussen_Helm_fuer_Offiziere_im_Regiment_Gardes_du_Corps_bzw_Garde_Kuerassier_Regiment_als_silbernes_Offiziersgeschenk__409492.html Unfortunately, someone put a wrong Wappen on it… Best wishes GardeUlan

The 1 GRzF mitre was cheaper. Only 45,- Mark. 😀

A very good question! According to a catalog from 1913 of Deutscher Offiziersverein the price for the KAGGR mitre was 120,- Mark, which would equal roughly 8.000 Euro according to an online converter. A lot of money. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Congratulations! UR 21 is one of my favourite Ulanen! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Very nice! This brings back memories. We visited him and the museum for old toys which is located in the castle last year. It was a lot of fun. The kids were impressed by the old uniforms for children. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Unbelievable collection! Outstanding! Thank you for this wonderful thread! Best wishes, GardeUlan

I remember, but I think it was an Oldenburg adjutant.🙄

He sold the Kujau collection in 1984, but only mentioned the name on the front cover. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Absolutely, black and white. That’s the oldest catalog I have. Best wishes, GardeUlan

You’re right. He had this elastic strap. Somewhere I have a picture. I’ll have a look. There’s an interesting thread about Huis Doorn: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/the-kaisers-collection.18083/ Jvpi posted some great photos! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Wonderful! I like items from Saxony a lot. Welcome to the forum. Best wishes, GardeUlan

https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/the-late-great-jarl-hartze-of-stockholm-sweden.17831/ Dear Steve, There‘s a great post about him! Thanks to you! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Interesting! For me it looks like someone put the old HR 17 banner before 1873 with „PENINSULA, SICILIEN, WATERLOO“ on a Prussian M 1842 helmet for enlisted soldiers of a so called old regiment, Grenadiers, with the FWR monogram...

Thank you very much! That‘s very kind.

Dear Zeb, Dear Clovis 57, Thank you very much for your replys. It‘s not easy when it comes to these old models especially when it concerns the little German states. Sometimes you can find some references in books, but often with limited information. As Clovis 57 rightly said no A.K.O. 😟...

Please forgive me to be drop in here again. It would be great to have a reference for that. Did the Holstein army really take over the Prussian model? The Holstein officer helmet you refer to is from Masa’s homepage and it‘s the only Holstein officer helmet with Prussian style officer‘s...

This one I remember. Ritscher offered it about 15 years ago. It’s now in Japan. But is Ritscher a proper benchmark? https://masas-attic.jugem.jp/?eid=149#gsc.tab=0 Best wishes, GardeUlan
