Back to the top. Still for sale.

This is an extra I had when looking for one to fit my helmet. It is in nice shape. I am asking $275 shipped in the US, or trade toward a Prussian Tschapka eagle for a non com in the 2nd guards Ulan regiment in brass. Checks or MO preferred. PM me for more info or pictures. Dave

To the top.

With one side in the hole, the other lacks 1/2 inch from fitting.

Thank you for the replies. The helmet is heavily marked inside to a Baden unit, etc. Finding another is, of course, the hard part. I will take your advice to heart and keep looking and as a last resort, move the loop. Thank you for the good advice.

I finally found a Baden frontplate. I knew the fastener loops wouldn't fit, but as hard as these Baden ones are to find, I got it anyway. My question is what is the easiest "good" way to get this to fit my helmet? Is it acceptable to move the loop and re-solder it on? Is there someone on the...

There is one on Helmut W's site, but it has the star and quite expensive. Here's hoping, though. Looking for one gives me a good excuse to go to all the militaria shows, too. :) Dave

I am needing a Tschapka eagle in brass to complete an Uhlan helmet. I have the silver guard star, but the eagle I need is the smaller type and with the more upswept wing that fits an Uhlan. Any help in selling me one or knowing where one is for sale would be much appreciated. Dave

Bringing this back to the top. Still in need to complete a nice shape helmet. Dave

Thank you for that reference.

Thank you, Tony

I have started visiting that site already. It is a great place, for sure.

That is a brass front plate and silver star, right? How do I know if I look for a certain regiment, like his says number 2. Is there a 3, 4, 1? Does it matter?

I tried to get an outside shot of the holes. They look brass to me. Dave

I need the front plate for an EM Baden marked 1915 helmet. Please let me know if you have one for sale and price. Thank you in advance. Dave

So that is what would be correct for the leather spiked helmet I have?

That would be great. I would appreciate that. Dave

Thank you for that information. So the front plate was put on with the 2 holes and no star, or was there a front plate just like this without the 2 holes?

If I can't find the right plate, I am most likely going to sell this helmet. I am in a field I know very little about as you can probably see from my questions, etc. So if I found a frontplate, what would this helmet be valued at. As it is, what is the value? I guess I am wondering if I go to...
