IR92

[Tony without Kaiser]

Line Totenkopf and Bandeau for Officer and Mannschaften are one piece stamped.

I agree with you below Arran. All critical.

It IS a galvano copy, 100%! When I see the bubbles and lack of detail on the reverse of the Peninsula banner, it is a clear sign. The proof of originality is always seen in the details of the banner. Furthermore, wappen like this were not made of copper. Either silver plated brass, or a white metal alloy is acceptable material.

I would like to share my latest find.

the officer Pickelhaube of the 92 regiment,

in my opinion definitely the most beautiful pickelhaube to be found, And therefore very scarce and difficult....

I'm very happy with it, and I really trust this one. It's wappen seems very well attached to the haube, with its correct ghost shadow underneath,
it has the fuerst wappen and the whole helmet has a beautiful patina that is definitely original to me,
It is very much "dans son jus".

it came with its case (with label of Wolfenbuttel which is in Braunzweig)

of cause I'm aware that this is a very difficult helmet, and there a fakes around, but I don't have any doubt on this one.

It was purchased from a very well known dealer (maybe you saw it on the SOS)

where are the bottom teeth ?

Steve, no IR92 skull has bottom teeth, because there is no jaw. The teeth you see are upper teeth, and what is above, and may look like another set of teeth, is in fact the bumps in skull bone where the roots of upper teeth are.

Here is the whole thing, and what the IR92 skull shows.
