Thank for the compliment. Yes there is some marking at the rear. It reads HELBRONNER Co.

Dear All, I have just acquired this French cuirassier helmet for an enlisted man. The helmet is of the 1974 type and was used until the end of 1915 by French cavalry forces. Not so frequent to come across in good condition nowdays! The little bit on the top (marmouset) looks pretty neat to...

Another great find Roy !!

Most interesting!! Thank you for sharing those great findings with us.

Dear All, Well, the comments do not sound very encouraging so far. Thank you for your honesty. Here are additional pictures for your kind review.

Hi, It is quite heavy indeed! Regards

Thank you Joe for the comment about the cockade. Can anyone develop this?

Dear All, Here are some pictures of the pieces I got in this morning to add to my (still but not for long!) small collection. What do you think of it?? Please feel free to make all the comments you think fit to make and be honest. The helmet is currently in my hand for a two days' inspection...

Dear All, Browsing the Net I have spoted this Hannoverian infantry haube which looks quite right to me. The battle damage to it makes it even more special. I would still like to have your enlightened comments on it...

What a beautiful and rare helmet Tony! The year start well for you :P

A great happy New Year from the UK to all of you at the Pickelhaubes.com Forum!!!!! I look forward to sharing this great passion of ours with you all in 2008!!

A beautiful helmet, Jean-Pierre. Felicitations to you!!

A very fine Uberzug Hans with a nice an top condition as well. Your item has triggered in me some interest for that piece of equipment. Most of the Uberzugen I have seen posted on this Forum are for infantry and artillery helmets. Would anyone have one (perhaps regiment marked) for a Ulan helmet?

A very pleasant helmet indeed!

Very correct Stahlhelm. In fact, a large number of infantry men were still wearing the M16 during the invasion of France and even after the begining of Barbarossa in June 1941. When replaced by the later M40 and M42, those helmets were used by the Volksturm. Given the grey slate paint, the...

Thank you Joe for the link it is very instructive indeed. Well, to summarise, OYV headdress regulations were rather loose and could result in some cases that a OYV helmet would meet most of the characteristics of an officer helmet without being one. One the top of that, some state rules and...

Those police helmets are definitely very attractive and comparatively very well price compared to some Imperial army helmets. A great additional piece you have here!!
