CharlesIve always wanted one since i was a young child. I have no idea how to tell originality on such. Those are beautiful…..
Weitze has an officers Grenadier Batl helmet for the KAGGR # 1
I was lucky and bought my Grenadier Batl officers back in the
"old Days " for the sum of $ 2,000
They are a little more expensive now days

I had always said that if I had to
get down to the point where I could keep
only one helmet
It would be my KAGGR # 1 officers miter
and in the beginning it was a hand-me -down
from the 1 Garde Regt zu Fuss when they got their
new silver front miters

Is it true that there are only a very small "handful" of this spectacular miter in existence? Maybe only 3 or 4 others that still exist in museums and private collections?
Congratulations Steve on acquiring your stellar example, it is a real beauty!
Best Wishes,
Alan

I have seen 3 total in 53 years
The Grenadier Batl officer came from Phil N. of Chicago
for $ 2,000 back then
he was an early collector also with Hermann ( The German ) Wagner
also of Chicago .

Thank you!
The miniature is a farewell gift for an officer.
It’s a silver goblet that had to be emptied in one single sip.
However, I have to confess that it’s not from KAGGR, but from the 1 Garde Regiment zu Fuss before 1894.
