Prussian Foot Artillery EM helmet

[Stosstrupp]

Hello Everybody

This is my latest purchase a Prussian foot artillery enlisted men helmet nicely stamped Fs.A.R.7 - Bekleidungsambt VII.1914 , funny thing it looks like someone was sleeping in the helmet factory because both the knopf 91 are wrongly assembled.

Very Nice!

Nice helmet and nice marking, congrats

Nice helmet, congratulations

Very nice helmet indeed with excellent markings! Odd that it has an infantry style rear spine with slider vent.

I mean that the helmet of the foot artillery belongs to the foot troops and therefore has the sliding opening.
See the clothing regulations from 1903

Hi,
I don´t think so.
Often seen on EM cavalry and artillery helmets. This was to allow an easier put down of the chinscales
Beautiful and well marked helmet. I see a name on the front visor. Can you decypher it?

Hi Philippe

There is indeed a name in the front visor but very difficult to read i can't decypher it.

Looks like "Stolzenwald" to me, I could only find one in the casualty list for Fußartillerie-Batterie 133.
Regards,
Lars

EDIT: there are many "Stolzenwald" in the casualty list for other units, this is the only casualty in a Fußartillerie unit that I could find

I like the marks and the nice patina on the ball.

 

[b.loree]

Thanks for the explanation Frank, that makes total sense.

Beautiful helmet. Nicely well marked.
