Not as much as you quoted , but it was not cheap .I only know of 2 others
and they can not be had . so as the Elvis song goes ; "It's Now or Never "
I used to really like NOLA .a few years back we went 10 years in a row .
Not so pleased with NOLA any longer after they took General Robert E. Lee
away from Lee Circle

Taking down Lee's statue was just insane.
Taking political correctness to all new lows.
I put that almost at the same level as the Taliban blowing up those 3,000 year old stone deities .
Yup I mean DR 19. Hmm I didn't buy them up, some are asking for exex prices and some dealers asked me if I know what I am buying. There is this dealer who asked 'you know what this is' I said yes, it's a wurttemberg officers. He was surprised but then he tried to convince me that its meant for the Prince of wurttemberg lol I have a DR 17KAGGR#1 said:Amy ;
I know that you mean D R 19 Oldenburg . I did see that front plate and it is a "frosty " beauty .
I agree it was too much at $ 1,800.He did have other nice items which someone beat me to
so I had to deal with them to get them .My 2 Garde D R officer epaulettes and shoulder strap pairs .
By the way I am looking for a D R 18 Mecklenburg officers helmet or D R 17 .
It was nice to meet you this year for the first time .I now know who has been buying up
all the helmets !
Thanks
Steve
KAGGR#1 said:Sorry , I bought the helmet "as is " no kokards or chin strap
But as I said it is only the 3rd one that I have seen
Neither of those 2 can be bought for any reasonable amount of cash
I know the 2 collectors who own them
I am sure there are more around , I just do not happen to know the other collectors .
1 is in the U S A
the other in Europe
I have extra National kokards and I have the chin strap
so I need an I R 92 kokard
Thank you for your question
