Thank you Francis .
While we are on the subject of 1 LHR 1
I thought that I would post 2 of them that I owned
in the past , but are no longer in my collection .
This 1 LHR 1 Officer shown here is the best death head Husaren Officer
that I ever owned . It came from the former Jacques Pries collection.
It came in the original carrying case with a pair of the officers
white gloves . At one time I knew the name of the officer
and had a photo of him wearing it .It was the best .

The next 1 LHR 1 reserve officer is the war time " Plush " body . This came many years ago
from the old Graf Klenau auction. I sold the helmet to a Calif. collector who
kept it for some years , then I think was consigned to " Der Rittmeister "
I have no doubt that the helmet is 100 % correct .
I have owned 3 of these in my 46 years of collecting
1. a line H R officer
2. a 7th H R officer with his name tag in the helmet
3. this 1 LHR 1 officer
None of the 3 are still in my collection , but I try and keep
photos of the helmets that I have owned over the years
and felt they were worth sharing .
I will try and post the 7th photo later .
