Feldgrau Garde Grouping

[Snaffles]

As the weather has not been good decided to take a few photos to share of part of my collection. From left to right we have::

Garde Ulan Regt Nr 2 NCO

Garde Ulan Regt Nr 3 Officer (Rittmeister)

Garde Grenadier Regt Nr 5 enlisted man

(First posting, so hope it works!)

Nice set! Looks like a nice shelf of helmets behind them as well! Congratulations!

Excellent helmets!
Is the mortarboard of the GUR2 Tschapka detachable?

 

[Snaffles]

Thanks very much, both. I will have to post some more photos of the helmets at some time.

Bruno - the mortarboard is not detachable. It was made by Wunderlich and dated 1915.

All the best,

Beautiful pieces nicely displayed. I have a fondness for Garde helmets myself.

Thanks very much, Steve and will do.

Here’s a sneak preview of those you can see in the earlier pictures

Thanks very Steve. I don’t think you can ever have too many Garde helmets!

All the best,

An enviable collection indeed! Isn't it strange how many desirable military collectables gravitate to attics!?
Cheers,
Steve

 

[Snaffles]

Thanks very much Steve. That is so very true!
All the best,

I also have my collection in my livingroom, just like Wojtek.
But then again, I am single so it is just fine.
Nice garde collection!

Regards, Coert.

 

[Snaffles]

Thanks very much Wojtek.
All the best,

Coert ;
Would not a Hessian Feldgrau M1915 helmet be harder to find than a Wurttemberg ?
I will have to count the regiments .

They are rarer indeed Steve. I had the luck to be able to buy my Hessian M15 from a forum member.
It is also rather nice marked, as it should be. Has all the kammer marks.
