Just picked up this guy, not mint by any means, holes, moth nips etc. but price was a bargain, and love older helmets etc.
Thanks to Tony for help on proper ID!
"pre-1909 Tschako (no horn on the Wappen) for Kgl. Sächs. Schützen (Füsilier)-Regt. Prinz Georg Nr.108 (Dresden) XII Armee Korps."
"This is the only Infanterie Regt. to wear a green Waffenrock out of 193 Regiments (not including Bayern).
They did not wear a Feldzeichen, so they wore the Kokarde, and it 1897 as you know they added the Reich's and swicthed sides."
Overall I am very happy as it still has soldier name tag as well as excellent markings.
At first I was not going to keep it, but now that I have it in had, it is going on the shelf.
thanks
James
