Chris Boonzaier Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I thought Hessen had their own Picklehaube badges?
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 Am I right thinking Hessen Beltbuckle, Prussian helmet??
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 Anyone have an idea to help poor old me? :-)
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 4, 2012 Author Posted December 4, 2012 Just for info, it came with a Hessen Militärpass for RIR116
Hoss Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Hi Chris Maybe the haube is a studio prop sometimes they'd have things like an obsolete 88 rifle laying about. My wild imagination tells me he was wearing his mutz and someone ran up and plonked the pickel on his head at a funky angle! Eric
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Eric, sounds like a logical possibility, maybe they were short on Haube for reserve units, Best chris
Chip Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 Chris, This is pretty common for Hessian troops. It is speculated that the XI.Korps (Prussian Kurhessen) made up for shortages in the XVIII Korps. Chip
