Biro Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hello gentsI thought maybe some of you would be interested to see my latest aquisition .... a Prussian Garde K?rassier M1889/97 metalhelm complete with Parade Eagle - it's prolifically marked all over the helmet to the GKR, the unit, and various other inventory numbers crop up.. but I can't quite get to the bottom of the maker mark.It appeared to me to be DAMASCHKE - but it's also possible it is JAMASCHKE - I favour the former, but this is most definitely not my field!!Anyone able to help here??thanks - if anyone wants more pics, let me know...MarshallHelmet...[attachmentid=22419]Maker Mark...[attachmentid=22420] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 A question I have always like to ask collectors of helmets: does it actuallt fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (edited) does it actuallt fit?Who cares? Marshall, OMFG That is gorgeous. The maker is DAMASCHKE. I do not know anything else about them except they made a number of metal helms GdC, GKR, Kurrasier, JzP, and the 1915 and ersatz types of the above.Dan Murphy Edited January 14, 2006 by Daniel Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
