Chris Boonzaier Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 OK, its far from Mint... but its Kosher. I know little about Helmets, from what I see this is a senior NCO?There is no unit stamp, but there is a stamp that looks like XG1X... in the photo it is easier to read and looks to be LG11 ?

Chip Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Chris,I don't see any relationship between the "LG" and the "11" as far a Garde troops go. I've seen a number of Landes Gerndarmerie helmets and tunics marked this way. Take a look at this.....http://www.military-antiques.cz/headgear-helmets-before-ww1/2210003-german-m1871-landgendarme-pickelhaube-spike-helmet-landes-gendarmerie.htmlI don't have any reference that I can find on the Prussian Landes Gendarmerie, but I do think they wore Garde style helmets.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
