Fantastic pictures of pickelhauben being worn with chinstraps in use. The details in the black and white photos seem to pop out at you. Thanks for posting these unique photos.
Best regards
John

Thank you gentlemen. Here is a scan of the back of one of them. The photographer seems to have specialized in Maneuver photos. In the top photo the Hussar in the foreground is an enlisted man. Maybe a messenger getting and/or delivering a message from/to the Uhlan officer?

If you like photos from „Kaisermanöver“, I can recommend the photo archive of the state of Baden-Württemberg. There are also good photos of parades and the nobility, all in high resolution.
