My newest Raupenhelme

[J.LeBrasseur]

I just picked up the one on the right, I already had the other one. Quite a few differances in the two!

I am still trying to figure out the Red plume on the new one, one possibility based on what I have tried to read in the (Die Helm der Koniglich Bayerischen Armee 1806-1918 book by Seibold and Schulz) is that it could be for Artillary?

If anyone has any ideas, would love to hear them.

Anyway, I am very ahppy with both of these!

Thanks

James

Hi James: Very nice raupenhelm. I believe the red is indeed artillery. Bavarian artillery units wore red busches on M95 helmets.
