Cased Uhlan NCO Tschapka

[RoyA]

Cased NCO Tschapka to Ulanen Regiments 5, 6, 8, 15 and 16.
Of the approximately 200 pieces of headgear that have passed thru my hands over the past 30 years, this is one of my top three favorites.
Hope you enjoy the pics

As Joe said, most likely this is UR15 but I am not sure if that label is being read correctly, when a unit is named as such "Schleswig-Holsteinisches" that was the title as far as I know. I do not think it would say Schleswig-Holstein, especially if it was garrisoned in Saarburg?

A superb Tschapka Roy. And where did you learn to take such fantastic photos??

Yowzers! Well done!

Now.....what model is it? >> http://www.kaisersbunker.com/pt/tschapka.htm

Fantastic helmet! Very nice. I've never seen a Uhlan box until now either!

Truly a superb helmet ,the Uhlan must have survived the war and put it back in its box ,Rob.
