Hannoverian tales.

[GardeUlan]

Hi Steve,

Thank you!

As Zeb wrote, this is a shako for officers of the Hanoverian Garde Jäger Battalion from around 1860, perhaps a little bit earlier.

In the middle an 8-rayed star, in the center St. George slaying the dragon, with the motto "Numquam Retrorsum" (Never Back). A black hair plume was worn with it.

In 1866, Hanover was annexed by Prussia and the Hanoverian troops were transferred to the Prussian army. Garde-Jäger became JB 10.

Interestingly the Hanoverian infantry line regiments wore the pickelhaube, introduced in 1846. Around 1860 they switched to the Austrian style shakos.

Best wishes,

GardeUlan

You are right Steve. Both are hannoverian units. I wrongly considered in the list of H. units only of these with the particular badges and scrolls.
Now I have modified the list. Thx.

First love is the BEST. My father brought me my first Pickelhaube in 1963 when he visited family in Germany. He told me his stories of great parades with horses, armor and shiny helmets. I still have it along with his toy kurassier helmet and armor from 1910.

Wonderful helmet Jupiter. It seems to have just emerged from a time bubble.
