Yes, so to speak. It comes from an officer's shako of the Hanoverian Garde-Jäger Battalion. This unit was transformed into JB 10 after the war of 1866. 25 years later the bandeau was (re-) avared to commemorate the achievements of the units which have Hanoverian origin.

James always picks on me Amy, he is like the older brother I never had/wanted 😊 I am an only child, no siblings. That is a beautiful M15 JB 10 Amy. Steve and James your shakos are awesome too! Garde Ulan thanks for the second Photo and explanation. 👍

The hannoverian star officers' emblem of this tshako is really a masterpieces. It's completely hand painted on the ceramic base. On the centre S. George on his horse who is killing the dragoon. In my opinion thi is high jewellery.
