ExcellentMark Felton reports on the kaiser's personal uniforms and helmets at Huis Doorn.
Excellent photosI was lucky enough to be able to see Kaiser's extensive collection of uniforms myself in March this year. It was dream come true, such incredible experience!

Steve,Excellent photos
Many thanks for posting these
Do you have any more photos of your visit ?
That is a super M1915 Husar Attila
I wish that you had a close up of the shoulder straps
I assume that it is 1 L H R 1 ?
Thanks
Steve

It is an odd feature on this helmet. Unfortunately it was sealed in the glass showcase when I visited the museum so couldn't take it out and check more closely, but I think it's not fake. Curator told me the museum never purchased anything from open market. Since there are many special features on Kaiser's uniform items, so I think this helmet have more holes on spike base maybe just a similar case.Thank you for posting this video. It is well done.
Please check 1st Grd helmet at 2:40. Spike base has extra holes which does not make any sense. I do not think Kaiser would have worn helmet with extra holes on spike base!
I think real one is sitting on someone’s collection…….
Hi.Steve,
It is the Attila for 1LHR1. Unfortunately I did not took many pictures due to the limitation of equipment and poor lighting. But I do have a video that showing some of the details, you can watch it here: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Ss4y1d7gR/?share_source=copy_web
