Very impressive.
What is the going rate for these birds?

 

[b.loree]

PM me Ron and I will tell you. I do not wish to announce it to the world. Lets say, that the PB 10 was the most expensive because of the obvious Napoleonic battle honours and the fact that these are battalions not regiments.

Many thanks for your comments gentlemen. A fellow collector pointed out that the Garde wappen is a reservist as it has no bandeau on it and I had missed that entirely. Ideally, there should have been a small (in this case very small) reservist silver cross fastened to the bird. There is no evidence that there ever was one. This came off a size 53 cm off. helme that had been sent to me for some TLC but could not be saved. It is very hard to believe, that anyone with that small a head could be a Garde officer even Reservist.
I do feel very lucky to have purchased the PB 10.
