Tschako m1825 or 1826?

[Naprawiacz]

I found two pieces of information on this item.One that it is Tschako für Füsiliere der Bürgerwehr, Modell 1826, Bayern,and the other that it is Bayern Tschako Modell 1825 für einen Unteroffizier der Landwehr-Infanterie.Thank you for all the information.Tschako after my restoration.Blood,sweat and tears,and then great joy.

Wojtek,
WOW! It is hard to recognize that this is the same Tschako you posted in the other thread. It is a truly impressive restoration. Thank you for the knowledge that you are sharing with the rest of us on this forum.
Best regards,
John

Thank you John,Sandy and Arran for your kind words.It is getting more and more difficult to find good repair material,but if you are lucky,sometimes you can find it.In my neighbourhood there is a Turk's shop which sells complete equipment from old German houses for the proverbial dollar.New owners pay the Turk for cleaning,and he brings the goods to Poland.I found the necessary material for this repair in an old
kitchen drawer and got it for free.Regards.I am sending pictures of my best find at Turk's shop.
