SELTEN-Pickelhaube-Spike Helmet-Casque a Pointe-SELTEN
!!!!SELTEN-Inf.Reg.96 Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt-SELTEN!!!!
Item number: 6241225827
Initially this looks very attractive however the star completely obliterates the FUEST in the center of the Wappen, when it should be aligned with the e in FUERST, with the tip of the star covering the E only (in Bowman, 1989, Volume 1.
Is this right?
Bowman also says the crest should be silver, but in Stubbs, 2004 his examples of the Schwartzburg Rudolfstadt crest are brass.
So I am confused on this.
Could this be a Prussian Line Infantry Officers helmet emended with a new / poorly fitted Schwartzburg Rudolfstadt crest? Must be tempting!
What say y'all.
