I've had a few Bavarian postcards arrive in recent weeks and have decided to put together a small thread to show off what I believe to be one of the nicest of all the helmet plates.

A group of Bavarian infantrymen from Kgl. Bayer. 18. Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Ludwig Ferdinand in the grounds of their Truppenübungsplatz. There are at least three types of helmets on display here.

So many things to talk about in these pictures. The last one is the showstopper. Now that is a rare bird. I do not have something like that I don't think. On the third picture you should consider some close-ups of the spikes. Many different types. The first picture is of course a real keeper. If I didn't have something in the pipeline that put this to shame I would have acute postcard envy. However,…… Something is on the way…… What you are doing for Bavaria I will do for yet another kingdom and this one…… Before the 1866 war!

Not at all. Just click on the image and choose original size and you will be able to read it just fine :D

"1.b. Landw. Inf. Reg. 12 Komp. V Korpralschaft".
 
the studio portrait is also cool. It really makes you think about helmets as photography props once again. Old-style helmet plate, the wrong plume. Nice group of photos!

Wappen is correct up to 1914. Wrong plume? :scratch:
