Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt

[k bandow]

Here is quite an uncommon one. It is a photo of a photo, done in the 1920s or 1930s, but I love it regardless!

The tunic and the sword are "circa 1860", the helmet is the M48.
In 1867, the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt received the Prussian helmet, with the "Furst" eagle, and the star in the coat of arms.

Excellent posts above! I have never seen an SR wappen off of a helmet or taken apart before.

I’ve never seen a period photo of a Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt 1848 helmet before. Anywhere. That is amazing Karl.

Very rare 7. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regt. Nr.96 III Bn. Wappen. A beautiful thing to see on this morning. Clovis you wouldn’t happen to have a spare IR96 II Bn. Reuß would you? Probably not.

Well there's something you don't see every day! Magnificent, Steve.

Indeed, this is what makes the difference with the "troop" plate as well as the star, finer among officers.
