Kokarden boxes and packages

[J.LeBrasseur]

I know this is a sideline, but relates to Pickelhaubes. I found the Deutsche Kokarden box years ago, and just picked up the Prussian one. I have also had for a while the packet with two original kokarden in it, marked Helmkokarden.

I am guessing this is how the maker sent them to distributers and or the military?

Would love to see other examples, especially a Bavarian one. and any other versions....

Hope you enjoy, wish they where full of kokarden.

Now that is very, very cool! I wonder whether we could ID the maker?

 

[Gustaf]

Don't you have a card with Wurttemberg samples on it?

 

[J.LeBrasseur]

Baden and yes!!

 

[J.LeBrasseur]

Here is what you are talking about Gus, a little different, this is most likely a Sales Sample board showing Baden Kokarden. And yes, I remember you helped me get this one

I think this is cool and fits with the side line topic, some of the things that are not often seen

I have some Kuerassier officer style, but they might be repros, as there's no cardboard backing (?). If I have time this weekend, I'll post photos.

This is an extremely nice display, James!
Everybody would agree that the upper right cockade is the typical enlisted model for Baden, yet it is presented as an Unteroffizier cockade . Do you know why? The question goes to Joe, too.

Hi Bruno,

The card states: "Unteroffiziere & Gemeine", i.e. this is presented as the Kokarde for Unteroffiziere and other ranks. Or am I stating the obvious?

That's a very cool addition to any Pickelhauben collection!

It is amazing to consider that small items like this have survived 100+ years!

 

[Pickelhaube]

This is the first time i see the original boxes, i didn't even knew these existed.

That sure is a great sample board James, thanks for showing it. Wow, talk about a rare piece! =D>

Could it possibly have been a "Probe" board? I see there is not any provision for a "Probe" tag, so maybe it is a salesman sample board.
