However, the one on ebay is ugly, obviously a parts helmet... Philippe

Such thicker pens have obviously already existed...

Not a lot of guys with this name in the Verlustlisten, only 7. And 6 of them came from Hessen, one from Württemberg. Yes, you won´t track this guy in the VL because as you know, the Landsturm units were only involved far behind the front line, to guard the railway knots and prison camps. Philippe

Bruno, you have to decide! So you could sell me some "no-Dragoner" helmets that are taking too much place in your show room 😁 Philippe

I think to decypher the name "NOETZKE".... And first, F. Gorris?? Cool helmet by the way! Philippe

Hello Cloclo, We have here a pretty scarce unit stamp! Landsturm-Infanterie-Ausbildungs-Bataillon Darmstadt, XVIII.46. Well done! Philippe

What a curious behavior! One enters this forum, asks for an opinion, several erudite collectors give it, the gentleman disagrees and leaves as quickly as he came. So why ask? Hoping for confirmation of what he believes? Good luck 😁

Very hard to find.... This one is the same officer pattern, same size, but with bigger central hole for the M91 side post. It is originally placed on a named RJR 76 EM M95 helmet worn by a Vizefeldwebel with the function of an Offizierstellvertreter. Philippe

Hi Bruno, What a grouping! Glad to see that you were able to add a M-Schwerin EM helmet to your collection. What about the artillery EM helmet? Is it marked to FAR 60? Philippe

Hi, Just a M95 EM helmet whose wearer was seriously wounded during the massacre of Dinant, 23.8.14... Gefreiter der Reserve Paul Dreßler, 8/ LGR100 https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/378900 Philippe

Nice one! And with great provenance (y) The one at my home, millesime 1911, maker J.M. Eckart, Ulm an der Donau. Philippe

Hi Bruno, Very nice to see / read you again here! (y) ;) Yesterday "Habemus papam" but even too "Habemus Bruno iterum" 😊 Philippe

Steve, Yes, some OYV bought some equipment from the Kammer! For example, their Diensthelme which were full normal EM helmets and which were the only helmets which were allowed to be worn during duty in the garrison, gards, parades and manoeuvres in the field. They bought them or could also rent...

Alan, a great find, and seldom because this pattern of helmet was only worn from 1911 on in this unit. I think I can read the first line: 4 Grenadier Reg. (to be confirmed). And a name under this line that I am not able to decypher... Philippe

FAR62 M15, 3. Oldenburgische Batterie: Philippe

I can unfortunatly find no active officer with this name at the FR33 in the Ehrenrangliste before the war. As he had the rank of Oberleutnant during the war, he should have had the rank of Leutnant before August 1914... Other possibility: this guy was a reserve officer. In this case, one can...

Steve, Because this helmet ist stamped with FR34, it has beeen first worn at the I or the II B in Stettin. The III/FR34 in Swinemünde did not had this Wappen on the helmets, only the classic line eagle. Then, because this helmet is showing a reserve cross, it moved probably to the Regiment stab...

Here we go 😊 Larcade I, page 153. Quite rare stamp of the II Bezirkskommando Cassel, 44. Infanterie Brigade. Jean Louis Larcade made a big mistake, pretending this helmet was from the 2/ JR44.... This exact helmet was sold beginning of 2023 in french auction. The buyer could find another...

For my part, I only buy a helmet if I can track the wearer and his military career before I purchase it. Today, there are a lot of possibilities to make such research. Concerning both helmets presented here, I would like to see more picts, but I´m afraid to say, they won´t do the thing better...

Does someone know how much did helmet # 43? (FR34). Thank you. Philippe
