eurorders Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 This is on the way to me this week. 17 inches. I am thinking it may not be the young kaiser, rather, another field marshal. Any suggestions welcome. Also, how often do you see these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That´s the Kaiser, all right. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurorders Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 If the Kaiser, it must have been a young Kaiser iteration. I say that because of the styling of the picklehaube but I am not sure. I wonder what period this might have been crafted in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 It´s the helmet of the Garde du Corps. I´d place the production of the statue in the 1890´s. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 William II ascended to the throne in 1888 aged 29 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurorders Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Another clue is the Order of the Black Eagle chain/collar. Does that help narrow it down to someone? Was that awarded to other field marshals too?? On the face of the round epaulette are three equidistant symbols that I cannot discern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Very rare the symbols on the epaulette. they must be the normal prussian stars very like the british ones.but appears as a sort of maltese crosses. or johanniter, three stars were for the rank of Generaloberst.

eurorders Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I do also notice the mustache is not upturned like the Kaiser's style so this may have represented another field marshal? Kaiser Wilhelm even in young age had his mustache ends somewhat upturned unlike in this bronze depiction. The interesting thing is that it is detailed in every other manner so I do not think the mustache style is a "mistake." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
