Hi Guys!
I would like to share my latest find with you. I bought it on ebay, and it's a late privately owned example dated from 1916. The maker is "Hans Römer" Neu Ulm, dated 1916, so I would say one of the last.. The owners name is "Wimmer Jos.(eph), which is quite a common name in Bayern.
The helmet is issued with brass parts. The chinstraps appear to match the helmet. Could it be that NCO's during wartime wore these chinstraps? In Bowman part II there is a similar officers example with these chinstraps.
The helmet came with one Kokarde, however I am not sure what size of Kokardes belong to this helmet. Can you help me out?
O yes, and the fluted spike is missing, so if anyone can spare one?
Any idea what a complete helmet does on the market?
Many thanks for your comments!
Marcel
