Shako Wappen Collection

[b.loree]

I believe I have all the shako variations except the Saxe but I may be wrong.

What follows, shows that I was "Majorly Wrong" in assuming I only had one more shako wappen to look for! However, I am often corrected here by wiser minds than mine.

Ok....looking closely at top row wappen, 2nd from the left (middle)....looking at the breast feathers and the curve on this "puppy". I am thinking tschapka wappen!!!! Argh!! Tony!! Help!! Notice guys, the rest of the Prussians have those feathers meeting tip to tip but the officer's and this M95 OR's are different. Did I mention, that I love this hobby of ours?

Nice collection Brian
If you are not sure you could measure them with a cloth tape measure to differ the plates. The eagle plates for a shako should be smaller than the plates for the Tschapka.
For example:
Officer shako M95: Height: 8,5 cm without crown + 1,1 cm crown | Width: 11 cm (measured over the chest)
Officer Tschapka M95: Height: 9,5 cm (without crown) + 1,5 cm crown | Width: 14 cm (measured over the chest)

It is a great start !
Saxon ?
That 10th plate I would love to have along with the shako to go with it !!!!!

Wonderful collection Brian. You must add in your wanted list the preussen J.B. 1-2-5-6 with FWR monogram.

 

[Zebedeus]

This is mine.

 

[Zebedeus]

And you don't forget the preussen garde star like this one.

 

[Zebedeus]

Another one is the Mecklenburgisches J.B. 14

 

[Zebedeus]

The Wurttembergisches mountain Korps wore this particular star with the hausen orden

Thanks Zeb, it would seem that I have a lot more to look for! I do have that Garde in silver though.
