Pre 1895 Wappen plate

[monfort]

Hi !

I just get a new plate (botom left).

It looks like a M 1895 type but with swres as a M 1871

Would it be a temporary type in between? for M1891 helmets ?

Eric, the one you have marked as M91?

Hi

yes, exactly

I would say it is an intermediate type, that I call "M 1891"....

maybe it is an obvious enormous repro, but I don't think so.

Eric, that is a correct M1891 eagle Wappen.

.....

I record:
"Like it's predecessors, the M1891 utilized threaded bolts on the reverse to secure it to the helmet shell "

Tony, even retired, you are still the king.... :wav:
