Christian J Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Recently got this haube. The plate is original, the big question is if it's orginal to the shell. What is it supposed to be with the mixture of officer parts, Einjähriger? There is a extra outtake for the plate, but coud it be that it just didn't fit the fit the first holes?

Chris Boonzaier Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 How did units get the right to have "different" helmet plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian J Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 very nice. I bet this pickelhaube was a hard one to find. There are few of these plates around. But indeed a pain to find at a decent price. How did units get the right to have "different" helmet plates? I don't really know the reasons behind it. But I guess it were old regiments with an glorious enough past. Some parts of the 33th and a little bit later the whole of the 34th were given these rights in the middle of the 1800s. Both of them Swedish regiments in pommern since the beginning of 1700s. Later transferred to the prussians after the deal made in june 1815 regarding some territories (we got Norway, shitty trade when considering these guys kept rebelling against us). Back to the first post of the topic. Somebody that can help me clarify things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Hi, yes, not only the (I. & II. Btl.) Füsilier-Regt. Nr.34 - also the 5.& 6. Komp. Füsilier-Regt. Nr.33 was allowed to wear this honor-banner! The honor-banner was to recognize the regiments service to the Queen of Sweden and their participation in the Napoleonic wars.

Or perhaps there was a marriage somewhere between members of the two royal houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
