Yes, you should check the history of AR43. Some regiment histories explains clearly that they took helmets from others BA. For instance, RIR 234 took pickelhauben fron Guard, Pionnier and even police.

Interesting this story of a renting house near Angers. Maybe they still have other original Pickelhaube !

very interesting. I wonder what is the regimental marking LJAB VIII 41. Landsturm ?

Excellent cover ! I already seen covers with the stitching line running across all the numbers, but in the inner of the cover

A excellent picture with sailors from Marine Division !

Hello The marking 36LJR is fort Landwehr Infanterie Regiment 36 which II and III Bataillon were raised from soldiers coming from JR 153. So il is logical ! But the helmet of JR 153 comes from Sachsen Altenburg. Are you sure fort the date ? I read 1910 which is more coherent with the transfert...

A impressive trio which will be completed by others states ?

That's why I think that these two bavarian helmets are war manufactured and were made from ersatzt...

A uncommon regiment because it was in the former West Preussen, the garison was in the place of Thorn, on the Weichsel. The IR 21 fought in the East form 1914 up to the beginning of 1918. So it is difficult to find an helmet from this regiment. I would have some doubt about the Reichkokarde.

It is a fake without any doubt. I never seen such a type of sewing.

Thanks Would it be possible to have more pics of this Uberzug ?

One of the scarest helmet and here with its History thanks to the name of the soldier. It doesn't get better than that! That's the type of helmet for which I surrender to find one exemplar. Too few still existing...

Hello Franck. It is a very uncommon and interesting Uberzug ! For me too, everything seems original. What is very interesting is the additional piece of cloth at the inside of the cover. I have too an Uberzug (from JR 115) which has been too made smaller. And it has too this additional piece...
