I received my third catalog today, and it seems to be the best of all.
.
We have a football game tonight so I won't get to it in great detail. However, there is a lot of detail about one year volunteer helmets and types of private purchase helmets. For instance, this details the buying of private purchase helmets with leather issue type liners. It also goes into the conversion of the helmets from Fähnrich or one year volunteer to officer rank. There are two pages of this for instance, in the curassiers helmets.

Thanks to Bill for bird dogging this one for me. And yes I know I have to update several articles. However, tonight, it is go Ro-Hawks!
Chas,
based on the helmet you showed I thought you would appreciate this -- fascinating book -- no date but obviously just prior to the war.
