IR88 Wappen plate

[monfort]

Hi everybody

I am looking for your advice.

This IR88 model 1895 OR plate looks good to me. I have already talked to JR92 about it. But what is your opinion?

I know that there are many officer reproductions, but I do not know if there is such good copy (if it is!) for the OR?

I have no doubt that this is a correct original plate.

Hi Bruno,

Thank you!

I hope I will be able to show it on this forum.

This also looks good to me. The only officer reproductions that I know of look really really bad on the back. Is that your experience?

Hi Joe

I know 2 types of officers reproductions (including 1 from Kalmmerbulle.de). But I have not seen repros of OR's yet.

Too bad I didn't know you were looking for one, Eric. I recently sold a very decent IR88 spike helmet...

Hi Bruno

In fact I don't collect 1895 type helmets. I collect the previous patterns But this plate is very nice and rare. So...

Hello,
That plate is good, no doubt !
Like these twice "Bodenfund"

And that officer's one (Butte du Mesnil)

Best regards, and good luck to you, Eric !

The seller stopped his announcement:

The plate must have been sold out of Ebay !
