There was a reasonably good selection of Imperial peaked caps at the SOS. I was fortunate to acquire these two caps from a European seller waaaay back in the corner of the vast hall First visor is for an NCO of the 3rd von Zieten Hussars. Second cap is for an officer of either of the two Garde regiments, or the 1st, 5th, or 13th regiment.
I will try to post better photos soon; I am apparently not very good at it!

Very nice indeed. I did not see those in my travels around the SOS.

I found them way back in the corner of the smaller room/hall, on the left. Two very pleasant French gentlemen, who had about 5 or 6 Imperial schirmmutzen.
 
Yes did he not also have the JR 115 helme pictured in my SOS pics. Young guy, glasses? He had the last table against the wall far left of that smaller room.
 
Funny....I was totally focused on the 115, I have no recollection of any visors, just the 2 pickelhauben!
 
Thanks for the kind comments. I believe the seller's name was Laurent Mirouze, who, if I recall correctly, authored many articles over the years for the French magazine 'Militaria", along with a number of uniform books.
