    American Pickelhaubes

    I believe Colonel Fleming's Pickelhaube does bear the flowing "ET" cypher of the Essex Troop on the shield on the eagle's chest. There were more than several National Guard units that wore an odd combination of uniforms with Pickelhauben in the post Civil War years, right into the 1890's...

    Saxe Weimar FAdj Helmet J Turinetti

    I would have expected to see a squared front visor, cruciform spike base, fluted spike, and Fuerst rather than Koenig on the motto. To me it suggests that this is a Prussian Guard helmet with the star added...

    Reservists General Staff

    There's really no such thing as a Reservist's General Staff helmet. This helmet should have a smooth silver spike as opposed to the reproduction fluted spike it sports now...

    Flugeladjutant Helmets

    Here is a REPLICA of the plate purporting to be from Sachsen-Meiningen. I have never seen an original, and can't say wether this is an accurate representation or not. Very pretty nonetheless!

    Flugeladjutant Helmets

    The S-C-G "mystery" helmet is so rare, that if someone out there does have a plate, it likely comes from this very helmet!

    Mystery Officer Helmet

    I do see the blue paint on the cockade, but I also think I can see some red peeking through there. Not sure what to make of it. For those interested the correct plate for this is a silver guard type eagle with "Fuerst" motto, adorned with an enamelled star of the Ernestine House Order. I have...

    For those that have an original specimen at hand, is the banner stamped separately an attached to the skull, or is it all stamped in one piece?

    IR92

    It IS a galvano copy, 100%! When I see the bubbles and lack of detail on the reverse of the Peninsula banner, it is a clear sign. The proof of originality is always seen in the details of the banner. Furthermore, wappen like this were not made of copper. Either silver plated brass, or a...
