Named Silver Trimmed Württemberg M95 Enlisted Helmet

[ww1czechlegion]

Hello,

Here's a nice Named silver trimmed Württemberg M95 Enlisted Helmet that I bought a couple of years ago and never got around to posting here.

The silver trim would be for Pioneer Battalion 13, R119, or R123. I currently have an original brass trimmed chinstrap on the helmet.

I hope that Philippe can decipher the hand written name inside the helmet, and with his excellent research skills, find out which unit this soldier served in. It looks like the hand written name reads: "Scho_ _ agel". Could it be Schorwagel, is there such a name? I can clearly make out the "Scho" and the "agel" portion of the name, but there are two or three letters that my eyes cannot decipher.

When I acquired the helmet, the black tinned support disk was located on the outside of the helmet, underneath the spike base as they are sometimes found. I removed the spike and installed the support disk on the inside of the helmet as it would have been originally.

Best Regards,

Alan

Here is the name hand written inside.





I can make out the "Scho_ _ agel". Could it be "Schorwagel"? "Schormagel"? "Schornagel"?

Best Regards,

Alan

Another nice quality Wurttemburg helmet.

I have a silver trimmed Wurrtemburg as well with a M15 spike. Not as pristine as this one though. Named but no Depot marks = Private purchase?

Still on my want list, wife's Uncle Alfred severed in IR 123.

Nice Helmet, congratulations
The Name is „Schönnagel“. I‘m sure Philippe will find more details about him :bravo:

That's what Philippe reads also. He needs a Regiment or Battalion in order to narrow a search down. Without a Regiment or Battalion, a person would have to go through the entire roster listings of each company for the 119th Reg't, 123rd Reg't, and the 13th Pioneer Battalion in order to possibly find him. That would take a huge amount of time, unfortunately.

Best Wishes,

Alan
