This could have been a private purchased saxon helmet...The ghost of the Wappen is very similar... Then pushed up to a M-strelitz as a parts helmets...Just my two cents.... Philippe

Hello Gentlemen, I have headaches when I am looking at that M-Strelitz Wappen... I do not like the back that is showing that there already were some pretty new "solder works" and even the front of this wappen that is showing three points soldered together. This détail is seen on ALL M-Strelitz...

Beautiful!! Great to see that there was a similar way to stamp the helmets of the DR7. Here is mine, same years of regimentation (1904-1905), but 4 Eskadron (not 3.E.). And Garnitur I instead of Garnitur II in your helmet. Philippe

Hi, This is JR57 (with garrison in Wesel) and then LJR53 that was formed at the mobilisation in the city of Wesel. JR 57 and LJR53 both VII AK. Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 53 ℜ Aufgestellt in Wesel (R.Stb., I., II., III.) Unterstellung: 27. gem. L.Brig. Kommandeur: Oberstleutnant Thorbeck...

Hi, Obviously Landwehr-Eisenbahn-Bau-Kompanie 4. Here a Feldpostkarte with a stamp of this small railway unit. Philippe

A so-called repair carried out by a workshop (BJA and so on) is often one of the favourite arguments used by certain sellers to offload composite helmets or manipulated items. This is just as bogus as the argument of a change of regiment to explain double holes. Philippe

Wow, I would love to see more picts of the JR41 Überzug 🤗 Do you have the matching helmet under? Do you see regimental stamps in it? A very hard to find unit, JR41 from Tilsit and Memel (East-Prussia). I love those east-prussian units a lot!!! Philippe

The wearer could eventually be Leutnant Günther Prinz von Schönburg-Waldenburg, 2. Eskadron of the GDC in the Rangliste 1907 (page 327). One find him in the 1911 Rangliste, page 40, as Offizier à la suite der Armee, the same in the 1913 Rangliste (page 42). In the Ehrenrangliste 1914-18, one...

I do not understand this topic :rolleyes: :oops: Because the helmet still is on sale...

Very interesting! I already saw this name tag pattern for officers, showing the head of the god Mercury with his winged headdress: I think I see on your name tag: Leutnant August L??????????? As he was a Leutnant der Reserve, we can unfortunately not find him in the Ehrenrangliste 1914-18...

Last picts... The same here, it is easy to spot his glass eye with its dead stare in place of his left eye : Philippe

The album.... Juste an example among all the annual lists: Walter Holste, second name from the bottom, for the 1925 meeting: One can see here his left glass eye: Philippe

On the other hand, we also have some small but pretty nice museums, having owned a very fine collection of authentic objects. As Bruno says in the case of the Wandsbek Museum, these small local museums were able to come into being thanks to post-war donations from veterans of unit(s) from the...

One can see on the back that this Wappen has been broken and repaired, and then painted gold??? Philippe

Yes, of course Bruno, look at all the small bubbles at the bottom....Buchwald sent me a better pict of the Wappen, here it is. Curiously, this time right-side-up . So he must have removed the Wappen from the shell... Then why did he said, he did not want to take the Wappen from the helmet? We...

What a good joke!!! Helmet made by a company that manufactures soccer balls 😂😂 OMG!!! Philippe

It seems that the museum managers should brush up their basics :rolleyes: A Oldenburg Fuss Artillerie Regiment has never existed...But a Feld Artillerie Regiment (62). And there were no Bataillons in such units, but Batterien. So 2. and 3. Batterie from the 1. Abteilung FAR62 is here correct...

Ach!! Alles klar! I already thought, as I saw the pict, that this helmet was one of Antik-Buchwald fabulous collection 😂 This person is not only deceitful but also rude and sorely lacking in courtesy. Just look at his Frankenstein gallery...

Very beautiful! I particularly love "white" EM helmets! Philippe

Bruno, Softly and "minimally invasive" cleaned, I agree, without strongly polish the Wappen and other metal fittings if the leather shell is looking old. I think that metal helmets (Kürassiere, JzPf.) could be an exception, but you´ll never be able to resuscitate a leather helmet with some...
