My friend was guessing that it's possibly a mourning band? Although I've never seen one on a hat before.

Also appears to be named?

He received the hat in the mail and it looks like it had a black band added to it, that being said without the band the hat appears to match the colors of the 9th hussars.

The board has arrived and I do see many matching issues from what Pontiac said, however I do not see a maple leaf andthe metal on the inside that didn't receive a full coat of paint looks pretty new and by now most definitely would have started to corrode in some way so I will agree that it's a...

Good evening gentlemen, I was lucky enough to win this sword off of ebay a few weeks ago and decided to share it here, it is not in prestine shape but i still think it looks very nice! The blade itself is in great shape but the bluing of the engraving is a little worn, also the inside of the...

I'll be checking for that when it arrives, thank you!

Well I'll guess we shall see if I made a poor decision once it arrives.

As unprofessional as it sounds, I made a 5.5 by 5.5 square and eyeballed the square above my helmet against some photos on the forum and it seemed about right. I didn't want to wait too long as I know these pieces get snatched up pretty quickly.

It will pretty much finish my garde uhlan tchapka

I snagged it as soon as I saw it.

It's hard to say

I had considered it, but I like my frankenhaube. I've never seen another period repair like it, even in photos so to me it is an incredibly unique example!

I have an interesting example that was salvaged by a wurttemberg depot, it wasn't just the Prussians that made use of old and damaged equipment haha.

Good evening gentlemen, A friend of mine purchased these two hats and I am unable to identify the visor, it has a Prussian reserve cross on it but I can't seem to find the color pattern. Can anyone identify this one please?

I've got a nice tornister pack that's marked to this regiment. Very nice.

It looks like he has some nice pieces, even a wurttemberg dragoon helmet.

It's a part of the helmets history and I'll be leaving it right where it's at for as long as it's in my collection.

I wish I could have seen those prices haha

I think they display quite well with the other Camo M17 as well as my garde M17. Luckily the missing pins are on opposite sides of the helmet as well so they don't show while sitting on the shelf!
