Description

Tombak helmet with German silver fitting. Typical rivetted rear plates of the so-called „lobster tail“ rear guard. Missing reinforcement bars to the rear. One rivet missing as well.

Unit marking to the side: „GdC 6C“ for „Garde du Corps 6th Company“ to the side. Front badge „star“ with original nuts and leather pieces. The eagle looks repainted. Hollow constructed eagle with separately attached crown. The screw is damaged.

Dome plate with original screw and nut. Marked. The eagle fits to the front holes but the tail pin does not fit. Chinscales from tombak with leather backing. The leather straps are quite dry and damage, however, all parts should be there. Including both original screws and rosettes. The Prussian Landeskokarde is also there.

Front visor with reinforcement bars and marking "Jaeger".

Original green and black color left to the inside. Missing liner.

A very rare helmet in condition 3-4.
