Enlisted Landwehr crosses

[joerookery]

:? I recently purchased a picture that shows a Prussian eagle with a Landwehr cross on the tail of a leather helmet. While I will not get that picture for a little while I rediscovered this old picture. The lower position of the Landwehr cross was expected on Ofc. helmets but not on enlisted helmets with straight Prussian eagles.

Joe:

Here is an enlisted guard eagle with no ribbons through the wings and a reservist cross below. Only enlisted reserve guard helmet I had ever seen. The helmet was marked "KBAG 1912" on the rear visor.
