Hi everyone....
so...here I am, as always, taking advantage of your patience and knowledge of the subject.
For a few days I had been evaluating an Oldenburg infantry pickelhaube (IR91) which has some particularities that I know very little about, so, in previous "threads" I had already asked for clarifications on this matter.
Now I think it's best to submit it to you in its entirety so we can discuss it better.
As mentioned, we are talking about a model 95 Oldenburg,of the IR91 and it certainly belongs to this regiment as marked onthe rear flap.
Now my questions are these:
1) the eagle is a model 1871 with screw/nut attachments, but from what I read here should we have different attachments.... or can these work too?
2)The "star" seems ok to me (model 95 as it has rounded tips), the front shield, with two rear screws, seems to be made of another alloy but I don't know which one.......I'll also post photos of the back.
3)The Oldenburg cockade....it seems fine to me but while the Reich one is certainly ok...this one seems not very patinated...(if it helps, no reaction to UV light.).
I have already posted the chinstrap attachments which appears to be repaired from the period and I have already solved the problem of the eagle which does not touch completely the body and is positioned higher touching the base ofthe spike.
Forgive me if I fill you with photos... but in this way I think you can give a more precise answers and opinions..... and I will have clearer ideas.
Thanks again and all my best fromTurin
