Tell me about it! I'm still posting threads for different sections !

A word of advice.
Don't hold them by the brim. That tears it loose from the helmet.
They are nice helmets.

The helmet with the Peninsula - Waterloo bandau is not from the battle of Waterloo. The bandaus were authorised in 1895 for military units that fought in those battles 80 years earlier. They are harder to find than just the plain line eagles.

AHH...I see. Thanks for the info Steve! That actually makes more sense. I thought they had big funny hats back then .Also, I asked the MOD to move this to WW1 Helmets section.oops!

Dean...they all look O.K. I see three, one M1915, one Officers, and one Reserve haube.....go to this site Kaiser's Bunker you will be able to identify your helmets yourself with the information on this site.....it is always most satisfying to do the research yourself and a good way to learn....if you have problems, then of course ask for help......Good hunting ! Prost ! Steve.

Thanks to Both Steves! I was just looking at that site link BEFORE I read this post! I will be selling these on the classifieds section after I do some more research. Prost! to yo too, my colleagues.

Do they both have their cockards?(the round painted wavy disks on the chinstrap hubs) It's hard to tell in the photo. I like the officer's helm. And, yes, as Steve said, it makes a person cringe to see someone holding them up by their visors! Brr! lol It looks as if the enlisted mans may already be coming loose.

Yes you are correct, the one is coming off a little, I def wont do that again! They all have their cokades. I will get better pics in a couple days when I go there again.
