Dear fellow forum members,
I'm pleased to show you my latest acquisition for my collection, a helmet eagle M1842 with attached fatherland bandeau from 1860.
Special about it is the attachment of the banner. Instead of soldering it to the eagle, split pins were soldered to the back of the banner itself, which then clamped it to the eagle. In addition, the threaded pins for attaching the eagle to the helmet were also soldered to the back of the banner and then inserted through 2 holes in the eagle. Here, in contrast to the split pins, they were soldered to the eagle a second time.
I have never seen this type of attachment before. I hope you like it as much as I do
