A unique "married" frontplate

[ww1czechlegion]

Here's a very unique frontplate you don't normally find. Helmet has a Baden frontplate w/a broken griffen wing repaired with a Prussian wing. Gives it that "unique-one-of-a-kind" look. I found it rather amusing. :lol: :lol:

It must have been made for that soldier of dual Baden-Prussian ancestry. I wonder what reg't number he served in... :?

Hello,

I think it's a Spaniard torero's Pickelhaube, the wing is up when the public screems "Olé" !
