Hello,

My apologies to everyone for my not being active on here for quite a while.

Here's a helmet I acquired recently.

Nicely marked to the 107th Reg't, 3rd Battalion, with "B. A. XIX 12" depot issue stamp, and 1912 maker marked.

There's a penciled name on the underside of the rear visor. I can't tell if it reads "Schamberg" or Schamberger". It's hard to photo the name without getting glare on it.

Best Regards,

Alan
 
You sure do have a way of finding some
really good helmets . It was very nice to meet
and talk with you at the S O S 2018 .

Nice helmet. When I first saw the photos I thought to myself: "Those cockades are gigantic". Then I noticed that the helmet was a size 53.
Nice find! Congratulations.

John :)
 
Friedrich SCHAMBERGER, 9/107, first missing during the fight of 21.2.1915:

In a later publication, k.i.a (french source):

At this time, the JR107 (24 RD) wad in Flandern and Artois.

But the Red cross mentions him as missing much earlier, at Vitry le Francois, beginning of September 1914:
