Anyone know if Rgt.'s 74, 77, 78, 164 and 165 wore a trichter?

Cheers,

Mike.

P.S. Anyone seen "Jouyeux Noelle" yet? There's lotsa 'haubes in it!
 
No, they did not wear trichters. Parade plumes were somewhat rare in line units. Specialty units often had them, so it's a fair think that a Hannover unit might. Parade plumed trivia of the day is that it is possible to have a line helmet for an officer with a white Parade plume. Variations and wonders never cease!
 
Hi Mike,

The book that is a good quick reference for this is: "Militäriche Kopfbedeckungen der Kaiserzeit," by Reiner Herrmann, from Motorbuch Verlag. Its entries summarise all of that sort of information.

For a review, check out Joe's website:
