Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Sell it? :? [-X
Not at all, I just bought it and it will stay for a long time in my glas case :wink:

Philippe

Philippe with such a nice, rare helmet you are forgiven for not getting my jokes! Warm congratulations.
I have a special taste for Dragoner helmets and if I was Brian I would open a new section exclusively on these...

Hi Bruno and all of you guys,

Thank you for your feedback :wink:
I had to think a lot before purchasing this helmet...Pictures were pretty bad quality and I only could guess the shadow of the DR19 marking at the edge of one pict....This particular liner and the crossed plate under the spike at the inside of the skull were first a bit confusing for me, because not the common pattern on the very few rare EM birds of this unit which are already known in some collections...The plate is mostly round on other examples and the liner in my helmet is very similar of those ones encountered on Eigentum- helmets...But it´s Kammer marked :wink: A sort of mix of fittings wished by a Wachtmeister....

Brian, it´s your turn now!

Philippe,
You must have inherited German precision from your mother and French joie de vivre from your dad, how cool is that!
