SkipperJohn Well-known member Jun 2, 2021 #3 I tried to make sense of the seemingly thousands of Bavarian Kokarden once. I gave up hope. There are just too many variations out there. Raupenhelm are especially confusing. John

SkipperJohn Well-known member Jun 2, 2021 #5 Here are a couple of Raupenhelm examples. Model 1868, Ludwig II, very similar to one pictured above (silver paint has worn away): Model 1845, Ludwig II (this model was used until 1867), the Kokarde is wavy and small. It is also white and blue instead of silver and blue: John
