Hermann

Speaking of the HH auction...this one puzzles me. Anyone in the hive mind have an explanation for whether or not a reserve officer of the Landwehr was actually a thing?

Interesting helmet
I am not so sure that the title is correct
I once traded for an Artillery strap ( officer or Officer S / T )
that had 2 bombs on it
not regulation
but I think was correct
It was lost in the mail
and I never got it

Looking at some of Hermann helmets, I wonder where the silk canvas was not stitched. We spent so much on a helmet and shd be able to do basic stitching or at least get someone to stitch it so that we can enjoy a nice piece of history over a cup of coffee, though I know u guys prefer beer and wine
 
I have never seen two crosses applied to a wappen before. Any Garde Lw. I have seen just had the regulation configuration as shown on this piece. Interesting 🤔
 
Jan K. Kube's Auction #146 is now on line.
They have some nice pieces being offered; a couple of my friends generally attend in person. Some great firearms as well, especially the earlier 19th Century pieces which I collect.
