Dealer offering of "Rare " Infantry Regt 14

here is what is offered as I R 14
To me the "1626 " banner does not have the same finish as the
rest of the fitting on the helmet
From memory, I am thinking the banner goes into the helmet
where the front star is located ?
So I wonder how it is attached to the helmet body ?
Steve

You are absolutely right. Colours don’t match and the banner is fixed where normally the center star is located.

Best wishes,

Regarding the position of the banner, I could imagine that these were sometimes positioned a bit acc. to personal taste. Officers seemed to have more freedom in this respect. I know of similar examples with the star on the eagle's chest. Sometimes these were attached a little lower, which was also against the regulations, so that the text of the patriotic flag could still be read.
