The plate on my M15 JzPf N°3 Colmar in Elsass. I feel like the model with the head bowed is more common than the other model.

Here's another one. BING are not Ersatz, because like the Weissenburger Wurtembergeois, they have been the subject of a patent filed and protected, they are of good quality and have been the...

It’s just a problem with the vintage drawing. The November 1860 eagle is slightly different from the next one, which dates back to 1895. Here is the M60 : On a Jäger zu°M1905 helmet, such an eagle is a reused eagle from a Dragon helmet. Despite everything, this M60 design reappears on some...

Very nice work. On the other hand, you use a seamstress needle... too sharp. It pricks instead of running into the hole. Use a saddler-saddler-leatherworker needle, with a rounded tip, and you’ll see that it gets better. 😇

Nice M15 manufactured new, on that date, and not recycled "M95." The absence of regiment number is compliant and regulatory. The AK VIII is the AK of Rhineland, formed by the 15th Infantry Division of Koblenz and the 16th of Trier. https://genwiki.genealogy.net/VIII._Armeekorps_(Alte_Armee)

Beautiful...but... Two observations: --Your helmet is not an F.A.R 12 but a Saxon, 12 A., implying "zu Fuß" stationed in METZ (Reichsland Elsass-Lothringen). Indeed, it shows a rear spine cwith ventilation flap and ventilation hole under the neck cover. The F.A.R’s being "mounted" did not...

Never "grease" a pointed helmet. If that’s the case, the helmet is irreparably damaged. The grease clogs, molds, and stains the inner silk! Everything is getting sticky! The only thing to do is to moisturize the strap of the "troupe" chinstrap, or the inside of the scale chinstrap with glycerin.

The width of the post side keys varies depending on many criteria. They are matched to the passage width of the lug. Infra, 3mm keys, reduced to 2.5 at mobilization to adapt to other post side. BING chinstraps are special because they have two rivets per slider, a unique feature specific...

From what I know, after 1889, Kurassier-Kammer helmets for enlisted men had a smooth peak and, most importantly, a simple, rounded visor. (This is so that the rifle can be shouldered and aimed). Therefore, the distinction is very simple, as shown in the document below: ---Helmets with these...

Very Nice and rare Giorgio !👌 Congratulations. 👋

Yes, that's right—it's a good sign, so it really is a natural “felt.”

The woolen sheet looks more like modern felt. It's hard to form an opinion. In any case, this is an Eigentum product.

As mentioned above, such a Prussian M15 helmet could be:---a JR, PB, or TB model; these are all exactly the same.---an active duty, reserve, or Landwehr-Landsturm helmet, since the LWK designation no longer appears on the iron eagle emblem. In addition, some Hanoverian eagles were no longer...

---As for the inner lining, the 1895 peacetime models were made of high-quality black patent calfskin. Below is an M95, converted to an M15; we simply swapped the brass for gunmetal, but the barrel and liner remained the same. ---The 1915 models have an inner lining made of “natural”...

Thanks, that's a good idea. In fact, the 1915 model is the result of two successive AK0. 1---The 6 April 1915 model stipulates that the fittings on spiked helmets (and helmets in general) must no longer be made of brass or nickel silver but of “feldgrau” iron. 2---The 21 September 1915 model...

Thanks for the information. I didn't go, but I'll keep it in mind. As for the Italian spiked helmet, I'll try to find the photo. It's about ten years old, though. But it is indeed the one shown by John Joseph. Thank you to him.😊

In Italy, they do a Chianti and pasta cleanse. In Belgium, a beer and fries cleanse.😍

Welcome to this forum.✌️ I know there are a few other Italians here. When I hike and mountaineer between Domodossola and Bolzano, I see many traces of the Austro-Italian War! And at the Sant'Angelo Museum, I saw an "Italian" spiked helmet !!!
