Stuka f Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hello all, found this little fellow in a house clearing. Apparently used to party during carnival at some point, due to the confetti found inside. And coming from a region where carnival is "hot", ....yes; Aalst! Nicely marked on the inside. For one with the Kriegs bekleidungsamt des (or der!?) Gardekorps.1915. And second with a name. To me it reads like "Heks", what do you think? And is there anything that can be found on Herr Heks when serving in the garde regiment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka f Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 They are usually left as they are. Except adding a front plate, undo the rossette of that ugly paint. And upgrading the chinstrap, there will no happen much more to this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Stuka , Rudolf enlisted in a Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment then was transferred to the 1st Bavarian IR and lately to the Bavarian 18 th Reserve IR . finally was trained for pilot . I fear that is not his helmet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just kidding! ? My guess is that Hess is quiet a common German name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Stuka ,Hess is a territorial family name , applied to those originals from Hesse ,Hessen , a short form of Hessische , Hessian . so it must be common . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
