Model 1894 Prussian OR Dragoon Pickelhaube From SOS 2022

[JohnS3rd]

After Jame's pictures from the first couple of days at the SOS, I started doing a walkabout on Friday afternoon and morning Saturday. So to make a long story short, I came across this splendid example of a Model 1894 Prussian Other Ranks (Mannschaften) Dragoon Pickelhaube and decided it needed to go home with me.
Best regards,
John

Lovely example, well found John. As Steve McFarland has said before, it is much harder to find good OR Dragoners than officer versions. Are those kokardes the standard 48mm OR infantry M91's ?
