Hello,


This helmet seems to be nice.

JR 21 is not a Fusilier's , but an Infantry regiment...


What do you think about ?

Nice. Jean-Pierre, my Model 1860 Preußen (Hannover) Infantry Regt 79 is marked to IR79 1867 FB (Füsilier Batt) on the skull inside top.

So I assume some Regts had Füsilier Battalions?

Boy this is a good question -- I don't know at least we have a date. The more modern ones look like:

Of course I'm interested in getting your donation of the pictures of the marks for the list.
 
The following link contains a short overview of fusilier battalions in the German army.

Thank you R1. :thumbleft: Here it is from that article

From Wikipedia said:
The Prussian reforms of 1808 absorbed the Fusiliers as the third battalion of each line infantry regiment. Now wearing blue uniforms, they were distinguished by black leather belts, and a slightly different arrangement of cartridge pouch.

In the Prussian Army of 1870, Infantry Regiments 33 to 40 plus Regiments 73 (Hanover), 80 (Hesse-Kassel) and 86 (Schleswig-Holstein) were all designated as fusiliers, as was the Guard Fusilier Regiment. In addition the third battalions of all Guard, Grenadier and Line infantry regiments retained the designation 'Fusilier Battalion'. They were armed with a slightly shorter version of the Dreyse Rifle (Füsiliergewehr), that took a sword bayonet (Füsilier-Seitengewehr) rather than the standard socket bayonet.

Hello,

Best thanks !
I found these infos nowhere else, the "Das Deutsche Reichsheer" printed 1879 gives
in the II. AK the JR 21 with only "Bomberg", and for instance
in the X. AK the JR 79 with a Fusilier Batt...
