Very interesting and unique. Not only is it named to him on the sweatband, the addition of the large, crowned Hohenzollern eagle shield makes this busby stand out as belonging to him. Thanks Steve, for posting this photo. Best Wishes, Alan

Fantastic helmet Steve, and thanks for posting the image of the music meister of Grenadier Regiment 1. First time I have seen a closeup of the music meister swallow nests. Are the shoulder boards specifically for that rank as well? Best Wishes, Alan

I want to let members here to know that on September 19th, 2024, I began receiving unsolicited email messages from Peter Nardini of "Saxonia Militaria" in the UK. He is repeatedly begging me to help him by purchasing an "Apple Gift Card" and sending it to his niece as a "birthday" gift. This...

Hello Thierry, I found it on a spiked helmet that I bought many years ago from an old friend who found it in a collection he purchased some 40 years ago. I did not realize this was made from a French M72 or M74 chin scale set that was altered. I did not understand why it had no connector ends...

Hello Thierry, Thank you very much for this great information. Now I understand and it makes sense to me. So yes, a do-it-yourself project that someone utilized an old French chinstrap and added in modern times the M91 style fittings to it after removing 2-of the scales. I saw the solder that...

SOLD. Thanks Kris! Best Wishes, Alan

I feel a bit foolish showing this chin scale set here and asking for assistance identifying the pair. They are marked on the back side: "Made in France". They appear to be very similar in design to the M91 enlisted chin scale set for mounted troops, except that they have no male or female end...

Offered for sale is a set of enlisted pattern chin scales for mounted troops. The original leather backing is in good shape, as is the leather chinstrap. Brass scales show age toning, and there is some verdigris on some of the scales on one side of the set. Price: $250.00 or "Best Offer" +...

Offered for sale is an original wartime leather chinstrap with steel fittings, for an M16 or M17 Stahlhelme. One of the M91 attachments is bent a little bit, as seen in the photos. The leather strap has a tear which is approximately 2/3 across the width of the strap, so it is fragile in this...

Congratulations on being able to view these items on your birthday last year. I agree with what Steve said: "What a great Birthday present for you!" I had to look up the term "FARB" or also used as "FARBY", as I had never seen nor heard of it before. I had no idea what the acronym you were...

Ah, this makes total sense as to why the German government was trying to block the sale of these regimental flag rings. Thanks Steve, for revealing this important background information. Obviously, I am not a lawyer, but I can understand that the German Government felt that the flag rings still...

$230 + Postage. :) Same terms as above. Thanks, Alan
