Adler 1 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ok, it's been a while since I posted a pickelhaube, but I think it was worth waiting... After looking for several decades for a nice felt lacquered ersatz pickelhaube, it finally happened! A while ago, I was able to purchase this M95 Oldenburg Inf. Regt. Nr. 91 with stamps and all... There's a little crazing in the lacquer here and there but I can live with that, considdering how long it took me to find one and let's not forget the rarity of this fragile haube... How often does one encounter an Oldenburg helmet? Please enjoy the pictures Adler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It is really interesting that they stamp it O.I.R. !! I has a mint black Lacquered felt Tschako in my hands a few weeks ago, was a strange feeling holding it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chris, the official name is Oldenburgisches Infanterie - Regiment Nr. 91 so O.I.R. 91. ist right. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi, agreed, but I had only ever seen b.I.R. before, no s.I.R. or w.I.R. ... so o.I.R. came as a surprise. I thought Bavaria was the only state that qualified. best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
