I‘ve read somewhere that reed „Reet“ was used (the material used to cover roofs). It works very well and looks good too.

Wojtek, what do you exactly mean with mounting stripes of grass? Does the ribbed fabric of an officer liner partly consist of willow grass or what do you mean?

Really nice. Congratulations :)

Nice helmet. Thank you for sharing, Steve.

Wish you all a happy Easter :)🐣🌼

It seems someone restored it a little a bit. The shell looks repainted, as there are rests of black paint on the emblem, the visor trim and the edge of the Saxon cockade. The Imperial cockade is not correct for this helmet, as well as the black disc inside. This is for enlisted men, not for...

Congratulations Steve, a nice helmet and addition to your wonderful collection :)

Awesome information, never saw this before :love:

Very nice epaulettes and interesting information. Congratulations and thank you for sharing :)

May be also interesting… I have checked many Helmets with Grenadier-Eagle, and all the enlisted men helmets of the Königs-Infantry-Regiment I found just wore the Grenadier-Eagle on their helmets. For officers, the most wore the Hybrid Eagle (with Guard-Eagle sword and Grenadier-Eagle scepter)...

A small correction, as the date for the introduction of the name „Königs-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 145“ wasn‘t 4.9.1893, but 27.9.1893. Introduction of the name „König“ on 27.9.1893 (Source: Armee-Verordnungsblatt 1893): Introduction of black the hair bush on 18.10.1895 (Source...

Very sorry to read about your bad experiences. Something like this is really very disrespectful and disappointing. But I can also report positive impressions. I have traded with forum members several times. Even bought something for other forum members at my expense and then sent it out into...

Some information about Bismarck: Bismarck began his military career on March 25, 1838 at the age of 23 as a one-year volunteer with the “Garde-Jägerbataillon” in Potsdam. In the same year he was transferred to the 2nd Jäger Division in Greifswald and was discharged on March 26, 1839 as a...

Many thanks for this interesting book tip, Francis. I didn't have it on my radar yet 🤩

Brass would be fine 🙏🏼 Other colors were also ok. But a M15 chinstrap shouldn‘t be to much faded.

Very interesting and I’ve also never seen it. But I can imagine that it was a non-Prussian citizen who transferred to a guard regiment. I know AKO's, according to which officers who were appointed to other regiments were allowed to continue wearing their old helmet fittings.

Hello fellow Collectors, I‘m looking for a Prussian chinstrap M91. Any offer (or hint were I could find one) is welcome. Thank you in advance.

Congratulations Coert. These books are great references, the photos are very beautiful. I‘m glad that Santa has given me these books over the recent years 🤩

Wonderful set, congratulations and thank you for sharing :)

Really nice books. Thanks for sharing (y)
