Dear fellow collectors,
as requested, I post again the excerpt of the stamp regulations again in an extra post:
§42, 3 (Acceptance and stamping):
1. Stamp (Regiment): The items accepted by the regimental clothing commission will immediately be stamped with the acceptance stamp indicating the troop unit and, as soon as they have been found to be in good order during the inspection.
2. Stamp (Year): A second stamp indicates the year of inspection. In years in which there is no inspection (Musterung), the second stamp and the hand out to the battalions may take place by way of exception, but the pieces must be inspected as far as possible at the next inspection and only then put into use (§46, 4).
3. Stamp (Unit): When received by the battalions, they are stamped with a third stamp, showing the battalion's name.
4. Stamp (Year): When handed out to the companies, they are stamped with the year, as a sign that they have been put into use.
5. Stamp (Company): Finally, the pieces receive the company stamp,
6. Stamp (Garniture): and the garniture stamp (6th stamp).
Cavalry regiments and independent battalions are accordingly stamped five times.
Lars, would you please include your wonderfully stamped helmet here as well? It is a great example and very interesting to see
