Yes Ron, amazing for a helmet that was supposed to be out of use in 1915!

frosted with Berlin white 😇

"Tell me about rare units..." This is my Eisenbahn 3, but with a Landwehr eagle. This is my KB Eisenbahn This is my Bavarian radio operator. (KB Funker-Ersatz-Abteilung) 2 stations only in early 1915, to converse with airships.

It's true that it's a bit “technical”. For the Leib Infanterie Regiment (115R), for the first or Leib/Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Grand-ducaux (100, 109, 119,123, ...) for the Pioniers regiments and other technical troops, for certain regiments of the Garde à pied (1,5 and GFusilierR) ... the...

I think it's a mistake,= good.

Freiherr Friedrich-Wilhelm von Villisen, an officer in a Guards regiment, was stationed in Beijing as a Prussian administrator in China around 1900. During WW1, he was appointed to the Balkans, then left for the Russian front. He had a privately-purchased Extra-Helm made, a colonial-type helmet...

Here's mine, the bomb is made of “croute de vache” (poor-quality leather), and the visor and head-cover bands are made of gilded zinc. The post side, tip base and M15 “Officer” tip are in gilded steel. The sweatband is made of varnished cardboard. Basane red and green is replaced by waxed...

Hello François, I think you recognize the E.R.3... -

Exactly.y) In fact, the length of the scaled part depended on the size 1-2-3 of the hulls. So that, in the resting position (with the fastening button), it's positioned just under the faceplate, roughly under the separation with the visor. But that was just for “Garniture 0” helmets, i.e...

Exactly ! but with Eagle with Landwehrkreuz, without Vaterland-Bandeau. I take this opportunity to add my felt G.F.R.. No re-drilling of the eyelets, which are at the correct original spacing.

Thanks for sharing Giorgio, superb ! I'm bringing my 2 Silver Guards: 1er Garde-Regiment zu Fuß special feature: the chinstrap scales are also in nickel silver. F-B. = Fusilier-Bataillon 12 Cie. Landwehr-Eisenbahn 3 Reserve-Landwehr of Garde eagles, with Landwehrkreuz and without...

Yes, a photo that proves that when war broke out, anything was possible to equip the soldier: M94 chinstrap for parade (with scales), chinstrap with leather strap, in natural leather (brown) or patent leather (black). Note the difference in strap length, due to the different spacing of the...

Very interesting picture - I can see my beer glasses in it, champagne flute style! These glasses were found on the battlefields by villagers in the Verdun region just after the war, and were widely used at the time, as everything was in short supply in the disaster zones. Farmers went out to...

This American is very pretty... but I prefer the Grenadier horse...

Hello, thank's for sharing. 😊 My humble contribution of the moment: This Sunday, I came back from vacation with a K.R.7 M67 helmet I'd acquired on the way home. I couldn't resist taking a photo in front of the Rezonville sign. Then more photos in front of the Denkmal of H.R.16 Schleswig, the...

Ce n'ai pas mon observation. En France, on trouve plus facilement un casque saxon qu ' un wurtembergeois ou badois. Mais il faut savoir que Dresde et la Saxe ont été fortement bombardé pendant la Ww2, ce qui peut expliquer partiellement la rareté. (Traducrion ultérieure prevue)

Nice helmet (battle from Halen) ) Thanks for sharing.

Merci à tous pour vos messages. Merci Philippe pour la confirmation de la difficulté s'agissant de la Lsturm. Merci ccj et Coert65 pour nous montrer vos beaux casques.🤪 j'en ai moi aussi un autre M 15 avec embase en croix et pointe lisse mais fixe. Je vous le montrerai en photos à mon retour à...

Superb trio. One of my own to accompany...
