A real Garde-Adler ohne Stern

And to widen the subjet, the exact opposite : a Garde helmet with a Grenadier plate, on which was begun the mounting of a Garde Stern.

The plate has screws, is a troop plate, so could be an old Eigentum plate which may have been used at the mobilisation for units form RIR 201-204 which were raised from Garde Depots.

The helmet itself is a very old piece, dated from 1897 from KEGGR3. It was found in a private home ten years ago.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting!
For the screws, I'm also thinking of an eagle from the M91 Kammer era, bearing in mind that the bridges didn't arrive until 1895.
It is very important to observe the burr of the gilding at the back, at the edge of the ‘artisan’ vents. (y)

Interesting!
-As can be read in *"Die Tradition"*; Folge/Edition 85; May 2013; Auktionshaus Kube; pages 11-19
-The article is called "Der preußische Gardeadler ohne Stern - ein Phantom"*
by Dr. Harald Reh

*"The Prussian Gardeadler/Guard Eagle without star - a phantom".

Well researched: just finished the translation.
