Shako Wappen Collection

[b.loree]

I had forgotten about these two:

I did have a complete Garde neusilber shako a few years back and it was a beauty! It now resides in the Schnurr Collection.

Screw posts on the neusilber star would suggest an older Garde Wappen.

Once again Zebedeus shows us so much quality! Marvelous.

For the Sachsen Tschako, you have gilt star + silver overlay, the reverse of silver star + gilt overlay, then in 1909 the Schützen and Jäger get the hunting horn overlay, and on it goes…

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)

Thank you Sandy for the abm info.
Do you have by any chance, the dims of the Marine-wappen as well,…
just to be sure.

Tx in advance!

Btw. Nice thread, nice collections!
