M95 Sachsen Leib-Grenadier-Regt. Nr.100 Pickelhaube

[Adler]

It's maybe not that special, but it took me a few years to find one in good condition, but finally I got lucky... here's a private purchase M95 Sachsen Leib-Grenadier-Regt. Nr.100 Pickelhaube, enlisted men's model.

Plenty special to me.
And for some reason a 'must have' IMO
Your 'Pickelhaube' looks to be in very good condition and further more with a beautiful and striking badge
Congrats.
PS
How come it has a red 'cocarde' over the temple on one side and green on the other side - port an starboard? (Just kidding)

Great helmet adler!
@scout, one is the national german color, the other the Sachsen land's color.
Ever different state had his own "land's color" on the left side; black and white for Prussian, blue and white for Bayern and so on...
It's a bit like in football! ;-)

Of course! I should have gottent the german colours at least, but I just focused on the red (not the white and black)and didnt make the connection. Thanks.

You, would also recognize a national cocarde to come from a Sachsen helmet, because of the different patern they used.
