Battle damaged Württemberg Haube

[Grabenmaxx]

I gave it some thought and decided that I will let this helmet go.
It's a battle damaged Württemberg helmet with nice markings:

Regiment 122
1 Batallion
2 Companie
1901
Unknown marking

Maker stamped as well on other side of rear visor but I can only read "dorf".

Notice the damaged antlers on the wappen and the fact the letter has become very dry during the years.

I bought this directly from the relatives in Heilbronn. Philippe looked into the Kriegsstammrolle to try to find more about the previous owner. See link.


Not in superb condition but it's a Württemberger and you don't find personalised/nicely marked battle damaged helmets that often.

Let's try 925 euro.

Hello

No written name inside ?

Hi,

In the helmet itself is no name visible.
I requested more info after i bought the helmet. Since the seller had no incentive to make up something since the item was already sold, I see no reason to distrust it.
He asked older relatives who claimed it belonged to soldier Eugen Wertsch from around Heilbronn. He was wounded but survived and died at old age in the 1970's.
There's no other written proof except for this family anekdote, so I leave it up to anybody to make up his or her mind about it.
