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

Thank you for this information. I think it’s a reasonable price. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Interesting discussion. Let’s see for how much it we’ll sell https://www.czernys.com/asta-149/?o=117241 Best wishes, GardeUlan

Hello, It’s always difficult to tell from pictures, but for me it looks good. I haven’t seen reproductions of this fixing so far. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Hello, M 1849 helmets from the kingdom of Hanover often had this kind of a fixing. https://www.ratisbons.com/de/auctions-archive/16th-contemporary-history-auction/hannover-helm-m1846-gardes-du-corps-mannschaft.html?curr=USD Best wishes GardeUlan

Thank you very much for showing! I always like helmets from AK X and the old Hanoverian army! Best wishes GardeUlan

You are absolutely right. It’s two good to be true. Two of these ultra rare helmets in such a short period from the same seller. Best wishes, GardeUlan

Thank you very much for showing! Interestingly this is again the same Hesse-Darmstadt helmet which was shown earlier. Weitze had the helmet several times for sale during the last decades. Best wishes GardeUlan

Dear fellow collectors, What do you think of this Hessian? I’ve been looking for it a long time. The seller has one for sale and sold another one some days ago. https://www.ebay.de/itm/197020013932 https://www.ebay.de/itm/196997979771 Thank you very much! Best wishes, GardeUlan

Dear fellow collectors, Could this “pickelsteel” be authentic? https://bid.candtauctions.co.uk/lot-details/index/catalog/198/lot/65212/WW1-German-M-17-Camouflaged-Souvenired-Steel-Combat-Helmet?url=%2Fauctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F198%3Fpage%3D5 Never seen something like this before. Looks rather...

I was not precise enough. ☹️ HW sold the helmet without the banner twice.

No it‘s getting interesting. In my opinion this is the same helmet which Clovis 57 has posted earlier, and was offered at least twice by HW during the last years. It has these distinctive scratches around the Wappen. Once with and once without 1621 banner… Best wishes GardeUlan

Very nice! Thank you both very much for showing! Although having no link to the kingdom of Hanover I like the Hanover helmets a lot! So much variety of models during the only 30 years, the kingdom existed as an fully independent state. Somehow underestimated in my point of view. I remember the...

This helmet came from an auction in Paris in 2006. All helmets hat a distinctive description written in French underlined in red by the old collector. Marvellous pieces. Most of them untouched in perfect shape! I’m still impressed by this very old collection. Apparently the buyer added later the...

Thank you for this explanation. This could be the case. Would nice to see an old picture of soldiers wearing such a M 1849 in the 1870ies…

Hello, That’s a very good question, which I asked myself, too. After Reading the regimental history of IR 115, page 583 (see link below and attached picture), the ribbon “1621” was introduced only in 1872. https://ordensmuseum.de/Regimentsgeschichten/IR115.pdf So how is it possible that...

Thank you very much for answering! Best wishes GardeUlan

Hello, This one came in on Friday and was sold immediately. https://www.weitze.net/militaria/57/Preussen_Pelzmuetze_fuer_einen_Reserve_Offizier_im_Husaren_Regiment_Koenigin_Wilhelmina_der_Niederlande_Hannoversches_Nr_15__484157.html I wounder if it’s the same, which HW offered two years ago...

Here‘re more pictures of that helmet. https://www.hermann-historica.de/de/auctions/lot/id/531809 What always puzzled me with this helmet is the fact, that it was made of fiber whereas the special wappen if Obersten in Generalstellung was abolished in 1898 according to Seibold/Schulz “Die Helme...

Very nice set! From the Guy Kaufmann collection sold 2012 in Paris. https://www.thierrydemaigret.com/lot/13888/2597540-allemagne-ensemble-dofficier-du-lieb-kurassier-regiment?search=& Best wishes GardeUlan
