Michael ;
I thought that I would post a couple of photos of my enlisted 1 Garde Regt. zu Fuss helmet .It came from an old collection
that got broken up some years ago .I started to collect I G spiked helmets about 1970 .This collector had been at it some years before I started .
It seems that helmets were easier to come by in those days . I got some cash difference but I had to give a Bavarian Generals helmet
in trade in order to get it .No regrets .Another shot shows the old style parade miter of the 1 G R zu Fuss with the " Semper Talis " banner
before they were passed down to the KAGGR # 1 .The other enlisted helmet with the leather strap I saw from across the room
at a Max Show when it was in Charlotte , N. C. .I said to myself , let me walk over and see what is wrong with this helmet
because no one else had yet to buy it .Well not only was it 100% O K , but it was a Kammer issue helmet marked to 1 G R zu Fuss .
Before I paid for it I asked the dealer if I could remove the front plate .He said NO .I bought it and when I got to the motel room
I took the plate off .It looked like it had not been off in many years .So I was very happy
