[dehebet]

I am a German collector of helmets of the models 1842 to 1860 and I am looking for these helmets and their emblems and spare parts for purchase or for exchange.

1842 M issued in 1848 to Schleswig-Holstein forces, during the first schleswig war. Might be of interest @dehebet

Very nice collection.
I remember when Weitze had quite a few 42s .
Unfortunately back then all I could do is look at the pictures and wish.
It still is kind of like that .

thanks Herbert

Hi yes It could be for sale, depending on offer or what kind of item we could trade with. I also have this M1848 Meckelburg-schwerin Dragooner.

Fantastic! Welcome to the forum. You have an impressive and very interesting collection. Several of us are very interested in the old pattern helmets. We would much enjoy more helmet photos.

I quote you integrally. These old models are so fashinating.

I collect in this area and would like to see more details of your collection. Attached is one that I have not seen before. Can you tell us more about it? This period fascinates me. Chris Dale has posted some remarkable examples of M42's on his web-site. I am currently restoring a Swedish grenadier's helmet. Beautiful plate with big Vasa lions. The unit was sent to Jutland in 1848 in reserve and as a peace-keeping force during a temporary suspension of hostilities.

I couldn't study any of this without Lacarde's pioneering work. Someone could put together a fabulous book or web-site of these. Each helmet has a separate German state history behind it with all kinds of characters, political intrigues, "little wars," and marriages between them that created the first European system.

My favorite is my Schleswig Holstein Dragoon officer's helmet.

A warm welcome from me, too!
Really an impressive collection….
I am currently looking for a Prussian M/42, line infantry
We are already looking forward to the presentation of individual helmets….
With best regards from Germany,
Frank

I just wanted to add that your collection of shakos is equally fascinating. That death's head hussar shako is amazing.
