The best of the year.

[Peter B]

It's a toss-up between my Prussian Metal Helm (in the centre between the felts) and my Prussian OR Artillery.

Happy New Years all!

Difficult to choose.
-From the "Collection J-L.Larcade" in January 2023 I was lucky to win this one. I have to pick one...So. From his Collection. This Württemberg FAR Offizier Kugel Helm.
-I must mention the Bayerischer Cuirassier Mannsch Helm. "MAXIMILLIAN".
-And from his Archive the Kavallerie binders. Minus one (Ulanen)..

 

[Kaisersammler]

Here to the shako of the Bavarian Transport Troops. My officer of the Bavarian Telegraph Troop. Note the very dark color of the uniform, almost black. Also the small blue border on the braids. That's just Bavaria.

My best of the year came in february 2023,
I posted it in the latest find section back then.
a Pickelhaube officer from Reuss reserve plate,

before buying it I really studied my reference books and info on the web for details, as they are so scarce risking buying a fake one is real..

But I was convinced and so it entered my collection. having it in my hand it's really convincing
