The Prussian Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hello! Kärnten 1918 1919? Some german units were in Kärntnen in the Freikorps era. But did theystil wear spiked helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottplen Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Here the helmet ! Seems like a cool piece ! But what do you think a good helmet ? Is cross wrong on eagle ? Edited April 25, 2019 by scottplen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Hello, the fact the eagle doesn't have a device, means it probably was a reserve officer, and should wear a reserviste cross (with device!) on the chest, not the one we are seeing here... And the eagle ghost (marks left by the eagle sitting on the helmet for over 100 years is called that way) doesn't seem to match... Definitely more pics are needed to check this helmet. In daylight, inside of the helmet and rear view of the eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wessel Gordon Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm the first one to admit I'm a novice medal collector/enthusiast so please correct me if I'm wrong but this helmet seems to be in exceptionally good condition for something that's reputedly a century old.
