My great grandmother was born in Hanover and immigrated to the USA as a little girl. My avatar is a photo of her father not long before they left Germany. Hence my interestMy grandmother's family is Hannoverian, so I have always thought anything from Hannover is really interesting.
Years ago Sotheby's had a sale for the ex-royal family at Schloss Marienburg. Some of the suprevests were sold from the Hannoverian Garde du Korps. Not mine, but I have seen this one in person. Weitze still has some on his website as well.
Nice Käppi 's ... I like themVery nice! Thank you both very much for showing! Although having no link to the kingdom of Hanover I like the Hanover helmets a lot! So much variety of models during the only 30 years, the kingdom existed as an fully independent state. Somehow underestimated in my point of view.
I remember the 2005 Marienburg auction, too. Incredible pieces! I tried to buy something, but didn’t have a chance at that time…
Best wishes,
