M97 Baden officer

[Dane Jensen]

Howdy all! Hope everyone is well!

Had an amazing one come in last night! Really happy with this and grateful for Randy and AOK.

Had him hold this one for me for about a month until I could properly afford it and I can say it was well worth the wait!

I’ve always wanted a Baden as the Griffin always looked so cool to me! It’ll make a great piece for when I teach classes on imperial Germany!

Tank a gander!

My friend James is also providing a case for this one as I like to pair my officers with cases. Much thanks to my friend!

Next on the list, a EM Saxon M95, if anyone has one for a fair price I’d be very interested!

That’s about it!

All the best and merry Christmas!

Very nice officer's helmet. Using it as a teaching material is certainly a capital idea.

Thank you Kaiser!

My collection is geared towards teaching, I love doing displays or classes. It’s the whole reason I stick to this hobby!

Good evening,Very nice helmet, however the Landkokarde is incorrect. You have a Landkokarde for a Hessian officer!!!


You can easily remedy this by exchanging it for a Baden coin with a different stamp. The Baden coin does not have the double red rings.

Thank you for commenting Clovis, I do have to disagree however!

I’ve had it confirmed by Randy and I’ve read extensively on these cockades, here’s a good link to James post about Baden cockade

Is this cockade a later one? I’ve noticed it’s quite uncommon/rare

That case is looking real nice with all that headgear

Looking good Dane! May I ask is the headform the postal visor sits on made of styrofoam?

Thanks Doug!

The stand for the postal visor is a glass vase, I avoid styrofoam like the plague

Thanks, Dan, for that answer. I'm confused. I wasn't aware of that "variant." All my Baden officer's cockades are either the standard Prussian gold one with a red border, or the ribboned one I showed.

In any case, the Hessian cockade is silver-plated nickel silver, and the Baden cockade is gilded brass.

Fabulous I too love the Griffin and yours is a lovely Golden one. Rob

Of course! I’m no expert myself and I’m always learning, I was skeptical too when I saw it but that’s why we have this awesome forum with even better people!

Love learning new things from folks like yourself!

Thank you! Just started filling up my second one! Got room for about 9 more helms, just crossing off my list one by one!

Thank you Rob! I really appreciate it!

The patina on this one called to me, that shiny gold just looked to good to pass on!

 

[Dane Jensen]

Here’s the new shelf, gotta start filling it!

 

[ShineyMarbles]

Nice haube, and your whole collection looks great.

 

[cptbob]

Congratulations Dane! That's a beauty.
