I wonder how many of these uniforms were made? Were they used on more then one occasion? This is on display at the Rastatt Museum.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks John. Would love to see the Post Cards if you can find them.

This has been a strange month for helmets. I have read that these were worn in the early 1900's by various Wurttemberg troops for the centennial of the wars with Napoleon. Picked this up yesterday at a local antique show. I will probably never find the other side to the chin scales. A very...
