Since Herbert has generated some new discussion regarding the early tall helmets, I thought this photo of the "48er" veterans who gathered in Altona, Hamburg to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the First Schleswig Holstein War makes a complimentary comparison of the evolution of the helmets. The event was sponsored by Field Marshall Graf von Waldersee Chief of the General Staff who appears on the right with his aide in their contemporary helmets of 1898.
