Die Löwen von Wittelsbach

[Zebedeus]

Today I'm showing you another old comrade I'm temporarily guarding.
It's a model 1853 helmet from the city militia, the so-called "Burgerwehr".
Despite its 175 years, the old man still looks sprightly and in pristine condition.

Love it!

Thank you very much for posting this helmet.

The Bavarian Bürgerwehr is unfortunately underestimated. As far as I remember this is the first post referring to these units. I’d like to share my helmet which is an officer of the cavalry. I bought it in 1988 from Kube in his former shop in Munich not really knowing what I was buying….

Best wishes,

GardeUlan

Wonderful cavalry helm, in very good condition. Terrific the super elaborated officers' metal chin-strap.
Congrats.

Yes, very nice helmet. I like him.
Comme les Polizei ou Feuerwehr, ces casques sont boudés en France. A tord !!

And now a M1845/48 reserve helm fur a Jager or artillerie.
Plume appears to be green which would be Jager but brass side supporrts make it artillery.
Maybe wrong plume? Maybe faded plume? Artillerie wear red carrot plume.

very beautiful but I think that if they would tell what they have made, many more would be amazed by these beautiful pieces, unfortunately they are rarely seen in the market anymore

Very nice helmet!!! From what I can see it’s green and therefore Jäger, but I can be wrong.

Best wishes,
