Garde one year volunteer

[vonkluck14]

Gents,

This one's not on the Bay, but it's been presented on a Dutch site where militaria now and then appear.

It's presented as a "Eigentumshelm" of a "Einjahres Freiwilliger". The leather and Wappen seems allright by me, as is the patina on the metal parts. I have my doubt on the interior though: did owners helmets come with this leather interior, or only with silk liner? And what about the shape of the leather teeth?

Your comments are much appreciated!

regards
Marcel

All normal. As time went on these were less common but were a bit cheaper.
