Very rare to see the manufacturers mark on the chin strap fittings.
Outstanding!

Don't thank me! I'm 63 years old. My 15 year old nephew taught me how to do this stuff!!!
The three greatest lies of all time:
1) The check is in the mail.
2) I'm from the government and I'm here to help.
3)Computers HELP people.

Beautiful helmet! :bravo:
Here's mine. Bremen M1860:
Next to an M1887, an M1891 is the most difficult model to find in my opinion. They are just not out there. I was very fortunate to find the M91 I have, and it was completely by accident; I thought I was buying a bog-standard M95 and almost fell over when I opened the box.
Mine is HERE.
So well done and you are very fortunate to find one with the perfect pre-1895 date. The features you mentioned are very unique to this model.

Scarce helmet in this unique configuration, worn between 1891 and 1897.
Prussian cockade to the right on M91 side post and hanseatic cockade to the left. At this time, this Landkokarde pattern was even used at the JR76 (Hamburg).
1897, as the JR162 (Lübeck), third hanseatic unit, was created, each hanseatic unit had then a specific Landkokarde, the prussian cockade was not worn anymore but was replaced by the Reich cockade. The JR162 only continued to wear this specific cockade.
This helmet could only has been worn between 1893 and 1897!
This hanseatic cockade for M91 side post is very very scarce!!! Only worn between 1891 and 1897 at the JR75 and JR76 and 1897 till 1918 at the JR162 :thumb up:
