Yes, the question would keep me awake at night... :-k

Ok, seller says he has his doubts about the second one. I just wonder if these were worn with a "Koenig" bandeau. Might be possible... I mean, those were turbulent times... anyone knows more?

The seller assured me they were worn this way as well (though a "Fuerst" bandeau would be nicer...) possible of course, wouldn't you agree? seems plausible to me... :?:

Hallo, Ik vind dit niet het mooiste hoofdeksel :-s , maar als je het zoekt is er toch moeilijk aan te komen in deze staat... gefeliciteerd ermee :thumbright:

I know, a bit off topic, but anyway... I found this picture: About 12 years ago a friend of mine and myself went to carnival dressed like this (Maastricht, Netherlands). Strolling around here and there... we got a feeling how it must have felt... Anyway, one can't get closer than that...

Impressive I would't have had the courage for it

wow, must be very rare in this quality. I only saw the uhlan on postcards untill now...

Aren't these used by the ''Jäger zu Pferde'' ?

Beautiful. How old are these helmets, around 1900??? :-? Were they for daily use, or were they used for parades etc.?
