Hi,
I recently picked up this 1895 pickelhaube with the Saxon Duchy state pickelhaube and correct motto but interestingly with a cockade for the state of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.
Now my question is whether it is possible for the owner to have been from this state but in another regiment, hence the cockade showing his allegiance or is it just wrong ?
there are no unit markings visible to help and the cockade looks like it's been on there a while.
Any help, theories or advice appreciated.
cheers
