A beautiful photo of your grandfather. He was well decorated. Shooting prize and fencing certificate. (Lanzenfechten Abzeichen). It is based on the Prussian cuirassier's Pallasch, inspired by the 1816 French cuirassier's ‘Latte’.

https://spikehelmets.pl/gallery/helmet-plates/infantry-prussia/plate-04/48.html The beautiful reproduction from Spikehelmet has nothing to do with the 2 stars above. For example, here the SUUM QUIQUE is in one piece with the olive branches, it is molten metal in a mould. On the 2 authentic...

or W ... for Wunderlich ;)

or a T... for Thiele😊 but the model with the concentric spokes in the centre is also very good.

To accompany the subject, here's a view of my TB18, with its unscrewable skirted tip, and a view of one of my 115s with its small unscrewable tip end.

no, translator's error. I meant that €800 is the price of the left-hand helmet, in which case the other two are ‘free’.

My bible : Jean-Louis Larcade Tome 1 page 55 : --- ‘It was in 1856 that the Grand Duke of Baden granted nickel silver fittings to his Leib-Garde-Regiment. ---In 1867, the 6 Baden regiments were equipped ‘Prussian style’, and all had brass (gold) fittings. ---It was on 11 June 1885 that the...

A non-commissioned officer's helmet or one bought privately is going to be hard to find. Go for an enlisted man's helmet, not an officer's. Here are two helmets that might be suitable. The one on the left still has the large M1886 plate, while the one on the right has the M1914 configuration...

https://www.weitze.net/militaria/87/Bayern_Helmemblem_fuer_die_Pickelhaube_Offiziere__458087.html No, that's not right either (plate M1896 for the infantry ‘troop’ and not ‘officer’ as said by Helmut !!! The screws at the back show a private purchase plate for a one year enlisted man. The plate...

Hello Rob, At 50$ you haven't taken any risks, even beautiful reproductions sell for much more. What puzzles me is the absence of the large central screw with the wing nut. It was used to quickly exchange the crest eagle with the point.

Beautiful helmet, beautiful markings! I'd like to take this opportunity to point out the fluted skirted tip, specific to the TB Hessois. The 117 has only the tip. Idem for the Dragons Hessois, point with skirt, but white, contrary to the L.I.R.115 which had the small point only which was...

I don't have a good feeling about this eagle. I don't like the little rim under the base. Some reproductions are easy to identify... but others are formidable.

Hello, We need a photo of the underside of the four-lobed base. Beautiful reproductions were made in Paris in the 1980s, but this eagle looks old. However, it is obviously not correctly attached to the base. There are abnormal extra holes.

I'm sorry, but as this is a civil administration, I don't have any documents on this subject. Each imperial administration had plates, stamps and badges stamped with the Imperial Eagle, marking their membership of the Empire. This was the case for the Railways, Customs, Post Office, Tax Office...

This is more or less the bid of the first left, the ball artilleryman and the ‘Mütze’ are ‘gift’.

Welcome French Alex... ;)

With its shortcomings, this headset would sell for no more than €1,000. There will still be a few costs to make it right.

I agree with Sandy. Visor unravelled. As for the plate, yes, it's a Bavarian Gendarme plate. The central oval is larger, and the ‘Treue’ banner is lower down.

Yes, K.B. = Royal Bavarian in German Königlisch Bayerisches Feld Artillerie Regiment

Yes, identification plate of an imperial-prussian civil servant, of administration of the indirect taxes. Plate to be sewn onto a jacket.
