KAGGR#1

Well-known member
Just in yesterday Eisenbahn Regt. 2 Reserve or Landwehr e m helmet .
The seller did not have the proper I D on the helmet
so I reached out to Philippe and he replied with the proper I D for this helmet
E R 2 was formed in 1890 and the Eisenbahn troops wore the uniform and
helmet of the Prussian Garde .

Excellent he;lmet Steve. As you know, I have the M15 of this helmet in my collection.
Congratulations my friend.
 
Coert ;
I forget is it a Kammer issue helmet ?
I have a pre war E R 2 e m helmet which I hope to do
photos of it and post them .

Steve, I just looked at the markings on my Eisenbahn M15, It is kammer marked, but to ER3.
So it will not match wirh your helmet, but I like it anyway. A nice M15.
But I also saw, that the pictures of that M15 have disappeared, due to the photobook disaster I guess.
 
A great helmet from E R 3
I wish that I had a Kammer E R helmet to match up with
what I have .
Eisenbahn unit 4 was a batl only.

I should have posted that I would like an M 1915 Feldgrau
enlisted Eisenbahn Kammer issued helmet

Those are beautiful helmets Steve. Congratulations. There are few more attractive Wappens than Prussian Garde Reserve / Landwehr with that double overlay.

I always find it very interesting when you see an M1895 helmet with issue dates in this case 1886 and 1888. So the question is, was the helmet originally an M1887?
 
I just looked, but my pictures did not get deleted, here a link to the topic I started about my ER3 M15 Steve:

Regards, Coert.
 
Tony ;
Good question .
The body is heavy and thicker , very possible
Let's add another question ;
One Kammer date is 1888 . E R 2 according to my information was
raised in the year 1890. So was the helmet reissued from another unit ?
Eisenbahn Regt 1 was raised in the year 1875
