Congratulations Steve always happy to see a fellow collector get something they really like.

So Steve you are the one who bought it.

I was still thinking and by the time I went in and out of me collection room, the item was gone

Congrats though. Looks good in your collection.

Very nice, glad a forum member picked it up. I am looking for an officers version for this regiment if you (or anyone else) is in need of the extra shelf space!

Steve: That is one fine helmet! Are there Regt. Markings to add icing on the cake? You know how I love matching issue stamps on OR helmets.

It is th first time I have seen an issue stamp on a finger of the liner of an OR Pickelhaube.

Here we go Larcade I, page 153. Quite rare stamp of the II Bezirkskommando Cassel, 44. Infanterie Brigade.




Jean Louis Larcade made a big mistake, pretending this helmet was from the 2/ JR44....
This exact helmet was sold beginning of 2023 in french auction. The buyer could find another stamp in the shell, from the JR83 (which garrison was Cassel):
