Arrived this week, an EM helmet from the Bavarian ILR ..with silver trim and still nicely dated 1915.
Looks nearly worn and is complete with its original thin leather string at the innerliner.
I truly love these silver Leib helmets..
Great set you've got 👏
Beautiful and smart !
The Fangschnurr is indeed very hard to find, as is the crossbelt ( I'm still looking for three of them 😬 )
Very nice catch Michiel 👍
That is indeed a M1847 belt buckle .
They where worn very often during ww1.
We've found a few of them as well nearby Verdun..
What terrible news.
We had a quick chat in January because I hadn't heard from him in so long, and he only complained of a nerve block...
My condolences to the family.
Steve, you will be missed, my friend.
Rest in peace.
