I have Mecklenburg Infantry helmets .
For some reason I don't have photos of them on file.
I am sure other members have the helmets also.

Rob, the helmet plates are quite different upon close inspection. As shown in the pictures .....

 

[Bobted]

They look exactly the same. I take it they are both Meck Schwerin. Rob

Rob, sorry poor explanation from me. The two pickelhaube are indeed Schwerin but the plate on it's own is the mecklenburg-strelitz, only worn by II Bttl Rgt 89. This one is for a reservist.
Note the more circular shape and the fact it has no wreath around it.
cheers Tony
