Well-known member
Offered for sale is a very nice enlisted pattern field cover for Prussian Regiment #174 with the green felt numbers.

The cover is manufacturer marked on the inside, along with a 1914 date, and a size 58 marking.

All of the brass hooks are present.

Here is a link to the original thread where this cover was presented on the forum:

This offering is for the cover only. There is No pickelhaube.

Price: $700 or "Best Offer" plus Postage

Payment via PayPal is ok. I prefer "friends and family".


USA Postage: $10.40 via Priority U.S. Mail with Tracking.

I can ship this to Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore. I will need to absolutely check with the post office with package in hand, in order to get an accurate postage cost for this item. U.S. Postage rates have recently gone up once again, and I was shocked when I took an item to the post office to mail it outside of the United States after I had already been paid. I had made what I thought was a good estimate based on past experience for postage cost which ended up being way too low to mail the 11 oz package to Europe.

Best Wishes,

Alan

A clarification: Questions or comments don't equal a "hold" on the item.

The first "I'll take it" puts a "hold" on the item and buys it.

This item is still available.

Thanks,

Alan
 
I really like it, but don’t understand as ik came together as a set with matching numbers, why don’t you sell them together? Such a set really is something special and adds considerable to its value historically, whereas the pickle apart is ‘just another M15’ , could you offer the set for sale?

Hi Michiel,

Thanks for your excellent question.

It seems that I've misunderstood the original responses I had in the thread back in 2019, as well as my understanding of the various ?re-alignments of issuing depots after the mobilization. I had thought that the 174th was issued from AK XVI with headquarters in Metz. The helmet is marked to the AK VII headquartered in Munster. The reference information I have access to must be wrong, as it contradicts what members "aicusv" and "argonne" posted in the 2019 thread I reference above.

Best Wishes,

Alan
