Chris Liontas Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I absolutly love the German Pickelhaube, however there are so many States to collect, I decided to stick with Bavaria. I love the early pre 1910 wrappen with the leaves upon the lion's legs. First Two Artillery helmets. One Raupenhelm for parade; while the second is marked to an artillery rgt on the inside. The helmet pre dates the "ball" attachment and retains the spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Liontas Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 EM Tschapka to the 2nd Uhlan rgt with Parade bush. The helmet is marked 1902 and profusely unit stamped on the inside. The bush I had to repair the attachment, but is original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi Chris, These are some nice specimens, thanks for posting them. I too have always loved the Pickelhaube but I will probably have to be content to only have one on my wish-list. Just too pricey for my budget.

Chris Liontas Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks guys! They really are beautiful helmets. I agree with you Brian, these have gotten so expensive lately it makes it hard to collect them. I have been lucky to find them from old collectors lately, rather than dealers which has helped a ton. I look at the dealer sites and my jaw hits the floor. Luckly Bavarian helmets seem to be a tad less expensive than their Prussian, Saxon counterparts. Thanks again guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Liontas Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Chevauleger hats, right to the 1st Chevauleger and the visor to the 6th Chevauleger The belt is a pre war white belt used for dress for the Chevaulegers. The photo was a gift from my fried Robert Noss, it shows a Bavarian Cav father along with his three sons in field grey, two medics and one priest.

YpresSomme Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, Have to say that I love the EM Tschapka!! Would it be possible to show a photo of the liner? You see I have a 1912 dated 1st Bavarian Ulan Regt one and the liner looks original to the helmet, but is not the usual type seen in Tschapka's. However it is very similar to earlier style Bavarian mounted troop helmets and I have a theory that the Bavarians did there own thing. I have contacted the Military Museum in Bavaria, but so far have not hear back from them!!! Great collection, thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
