I can only agree with Sandman. But I am only going by what I have seen with my own eyes or read. In 1871 a new model of eagle for line infantry was introduced, perhaps the eagle for guards units was changed at the same time, as well - just my speculation. A look at the back of the eagle would...

Here is the same plate- back side ( revers)

Hello, I think I can make a contribution to this your article. I have the same helmet plate-but with "KOENIG"- on my M.60 pickelhaube for FAR. You are right - these - my and your plate - look more plastic compare to other ones we know. My pickelhaube doesn´t have any issued marks, so I...
