Enlisted members of Jäger zu Pferde Regiments 9 through 13 wore a leather model 1895 Dragoon Pickelhaube instead of a Metalhelm.
Does anyone have any historic evidence, photographic or otherwise, of officer's in these units wearing a leather Dragoon style Pickelhaube?
Officers would have had to purchase their own equipment, and apparently most would opt to purchase the JzP Metalhelm.
Was an officer leather helmet required, optional, only required to maintain uniformity, or not required at all?
I can find no information concerning this.
Please help.
