Hi, Now sold? I could be interested if not! Philippe

Hi, There are so many variations, how the spikes unscrew for officer helmets. To my humble understanding, the pure M15 officer helmets always have rosettes on M91side posts, aside from the detachable spike with grey "button" under it, no matter if screw or bayonet fixation. The bavarian one...

How true, Steve! Sometimes even extremely hard to see, as on my LGR8. Philippe

As this is a Ersatz helmet, the special wappen of these rare regiments were very often replaced by the classic prussian line eagle , for the sake of simplicity. Here is your guy, 5/FR34: https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/171190 Philippe

Too much money for a simple M15 Baden helmet, not regimentally marked....2000 Euro.... Philippe

And Weitze also sold this year a similar helmet with this kind of declassification stamps.

I think I see a "1" on the left of the "2". There were some units which did not use the I and II and III to designate the declassification of helmets during periodic equipment inspections, but used 1 and 2. I own a named M95 prussian helmet, first JR85 and later moved to a guy attached to the...

So do I (y) Philippe

Yes, Ed, he is OK. I corresponded with him for two months about the latest Kube auction. Philippe
