Good morning all,
I am submitting to you today 3 spiked helmets, bearing a Guard-Star, and yet none of them belong to the Prussian Guard.
From left to right :
--- The one on the left, which looks like a Garde-Grenadier is a Landgendarme marked L.G. and its region number. (here, on foot, because there is the same for the mounted gendarme, in this case identical to the Dragon Guard.)
--- The one in the center, who looks like a Linien-Infanterist with Guard-Star is marked USB, instructor at the NCO school in Berlin.
--- The one on the right, which looks like what a GFR, GPB or 1GRzF reservist could be if it had existed is a Reserve-Landwehr from Eisenbahn-Regiment 3, received at B.A. VIII. (and not at B.A.G. or K.B.A.G.)
Occasionally I will develop each of them in a specific post.
