Many of you have probably seen this: https://www.hermann-historica.de/de/auctions/list/category/6678/id/8114 I'm curious to see what my fellow collectors think of it. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Bonjour et bienvenue! GardeUlan

Good question😃 The picture is from an auction catalog. The estate of the Feilitzsch family is put on sale. https://www.lankes-auktionen.com/de/

Must be from this man. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Hi, They both are Bavarian. On the left the old model M 1848 for Jäger-Bataillone. On the right the later model for Leutnant k.b. Jäger-Bataillon 10, which existed only from 1868 until 1878 and was then transformed to k.b. IR 17. Best wishes GardeUlan

No, you are not. Count me in! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Yes, it‘s Prussian Garde-Landwehr! Maybe a very early type. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Hi, This is the wappen/eagle for officers of a regiment from one of the smaller German states such as Anhalt, Brunswick, Saxe-Coburg or Saxe-Weimar. Here for comparison: https://www.weitze.net/militaria/Sachsen_Coburg_Gotha_38.html Since the star is missing, you cannot tell the exact...

Sorry, but this is nothing! That’s my M 1868 Bavarian Landwehr helmet. The Telly Savalas of Raupenhelme. Untouched but “un-haired” 😃 Best wishes GardeUlan

Great! My great-grandfather served in UR 2 and there in Ansbach he met his future wife, my great-grandmother 😃👍 Unfortunately my grandmother threw away his uniform in the 1950s. After WW 2 she wanted no longer to keep his old stuff. Later she apologized to me and said that she never had...

Hi, I think you’re right. You can compare it with this cypher: https://www.hermann-historica.de/de/auctions/lot/id/531832 In 2022 some the headgear of Prince Alfons was put on sale in Munich. It belonged to our late member Adler, who sadly passed away. Kind regards, GardeUlan

Thank you very much!!! That’s very kind! Best wishes GardeUlan

Good question, which I was asking myself recently. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you very much. That explains a lot. Personally I don’t like that book, as the helmets shown are almost all “over” restored. The auction is on Thursday in Germany. Unfortunately, many of the helmets have been reworked. I'm curious to see what results they achieve. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Hi, For me it reads « J.G. Lieb Söhne - 1916 - Biberach a. d. Riss. » That would correspond to this Artikle: http://www.gfh-biberach.de/Hefte/BC-Heimatkundliche-Blätter-für-den-Kreis-Biberach/J31H2S24.pdf Best wishes, GardeUlan

Great collection! Congratulations!!! Thank you especially for the M 43 officer’s Tschapka! It’s a dream come true. I remember Sergio Semino offering such a model (yellow/silver) together with its special box in 2002. Unfortunately I didn’t have the money. Best wishes, GardeUlan

That makes three crazy people 😃! I like these M 43 Tschapkas, too. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Bonjour et bienvenue! Merci pour la photo. Une belle journée GardeUlan

Hi Steve, Thank you! As Zeb wrote, this is a shako for officers of the Hanoverian Garde Jäger Battalion from around 1860, perhaps a little bit earlier. In the middle an 8-rayed star, in the center St. George slaying the dragon, with the motto "Numquam Retrorsum" (Never Back). A black hair...
