can you tell me more about this helmet ??

Prussian artillery ball helmet with eagle of the line. The special feature is the banner with the 3 Hanoverian victories from the Napoleonic era. It was awarded to 2 regiments by decision of the Kaiser in 1899:
---FAR10
---FAR46
N.B. the 2nd batteries of each of these 2 FARs also had the ‘Colberg’ banner on the top of the eagle's tail.
Very Nice !!
I believe Zebedee has the same. ;)

I'm looking in my archives.

Here is a ‘troop’ plate: FAR10 or 46 IIB.

Here is a ‘troop’ plate: FAR10 IIB and also given in 1913 to IIIBattery.

I only have plates, I don't have any complete helmets in photos... but it's the Colberg1807 eagle that is of particular interest.
