Hello,
Can you help me identify this model 1867 cuirassier helmet?
What is curious is that it is equipped with a plate of the Guard of a leib-Gendarmerie eagle.
However, this configuration is not known. We see that the modification is old.
The Leib-Gendarmerie helmet that we know is the 1889 model. A previous model would have existed (like mine)?
I attach a photos of the illustrator Krickel (from the end of the 19th century) dated 1888 (before the model 1889) where we see an 1867 cuirassier helmet equipped with a Leib-Gendarmerie eagle !!!!
Thank you for your answers.
