I've been looking for one like this for a while . . . Saxon M1895 EM artillery Haube. I believe it must have been a private purchase helmet; the leather, though worn, is in outstanding condition. It has no marks to it on the inside, except for the owner's name, which was written into the rear skirt. It's very hard to read("Eichen . . ." The man I bought it from got it in a London antique store in the early 1970s.
The Reichs kokard is in the saxon style (smooth edged), but it seems to me it might be for an NCO. Or would an OYV have used it?
The Wappen has been there forever. The connector needle holding the Saxon shield onto the Wappen is even impressed into the leather.
