Awesome! And nice photos as well

Nice. I didn't even know they made metal shakos.

Very nice! That is quite a set.

9 is a nice low number. Wonder if it was for an NCO

If you disassemble the bolt, you will find that every little part has a serial number

Love it!

In this photo does anyone know what the circular stamp on the blade is? It looks like a French proof mark. I've got an officer's sword with a scabbard that has the ring on the lower band. Don't see that too often. Are there any Prussian acceptance stamps on the blade or guard?

Very sad news. He will be missed.

What a great ensemble! Congratulations!

From the bottom up (or left to right). The 1817 French form. Carried by the GdC and Regiments 1, 3 and 7. The 1819 Russian form. Carried by the GKR and Regiments 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. The 1854. Captured from the French in 1870/71 they were adopted in 1876. In 1896 the blades were shortened...

Excellent example. Congratulations!

Here is an 1814 line versus an 1845 guard front plate. The main differences are that the 1845 has the stichblatt and the studs for the shoulder straps are lower. The 1814 back plate shoulder straps fit the 1814 front plate nicely (they are a bit too short to reach the studs on the 1845)
