Garde pickelhaube

[GOLDEN HUSAR]

Hello colleques,

I want to ask you about a help.
I know that this helmet is dedicated for the regiment of the guard... but which one?

Please confirm me if it's oryginal helmet.

Many thanks in advance + kind regards,

Marcin,

I am not the most knowledgeable here, but the helmet looks original to me. The marking E.R.1 on the back visor means this belonged to Eisenbahn-Regt. Nr.1, which was stationed in Berlin and was part of the Garde-Korps. All Eisenbahn units used the Garde eagle, even those who were not part of the Garde-Korps.

Hello Mike,

many thanks for your friendly help.
Your way of thinking is right. Now, we have a identified regiment... great!
Let's wait for opinions of helmet collectors.

Marcin What else do you need ? Mike has given you all the information !

[GOLDEN HUSAR]

Yes, of course. I'm very thankful Mike for his opinion... but he wrote: "I am not the most knowledgeable here"
So I've expected only the opinion of the helmet collector.

You have a good 1895 pickelhaube with old 1891 rear spine model
It is the same helmet that the Guard fusilier regiment (GFR) and the guard pionier bataillon.(GPB)
