A trade a few years ago with our late friend and forum member Karel

[ww1czechlegion]

Here's a helmet I never got around to posting. It's been one of my favorites since I worked out a trade with our great friend and forum member Karel, "Adler 1", a few years back in time. Sadly he passed away much too young, this past July, as many of you will recall.

I had found a couple of nice ersatz bayonets out of the woodwork, and ended up trading them to Karel a few years ago, along with a little money to boot on my part for this magnificent condition helmet.

Karel had an extra Saxon Eigentum Pickelhaube for either the 100th Regiment, or a Saxon Pioneer Regiment.

As with most of the helmets in Karel's top notch, magnificent collection, it's in super squeaky clean, pristine condition.

My photos aren't the best of quality. I should have used a flash on all of them.

Enjoy!

Best Wishes,

Alan

I thought we answered this question here:

I understood that the helmet could only be Eisenbahn if the chinscales were brass.

the helmet is just perfect

 

[ww1czechlegion]

The chin scales are the rare flat silver version. So the helmet is indeed 100th Regiment.

Many thanks to everyone for their very nice comments, I appreciate it!

Best Wishes,

Alan

Alan;

That's a terrific helmet! One that I'd be very happy to own. I've had a 100th Regt. OR's Wappen sitting in my parts drawer for years hoping a Wappenless helmet would surface,

One lives in hope.
