Helmet Saxon General of the General Staff

[Tony without Kaiser]

Thank you Francis but I don’t have this volume.

Discretely I’ve been searching for a nice Preussen General helmet. Without feather duster. No luck so far…..

Astounding. As is typical. So Steve, is that what a Preussen General Staff helmet looks like? Like a Garde Dragoner but with silver chinscales and fluted spike? I have to be lazy and ask, as I am pinned down by three dogs right now and my Lainé is out of reach. Would love too see more of that helmet; maybe in a new thread?

In the early years lots of helmet deals came and went
there was a good network of collectors who worked together
Walter Eric Hartmann was going to Germany a lot
in the early years
He had lots of contacts
You could tell Hartmann what you were looking for
and for the most part, he could find it
Not so much anymore
Lots of auctions , which adds 25 % + on to what you look for
