Bavaria M1868 helmet (Raupenhelm, Ludwig pattern)


Description

Bavarian M1868 helmet for infantry NCOs. A so-called "Raupenhelm" with original wool "Raupe" (literally: caterpillar). Brass, gilt "L" (Ludwig) monogram front badge and the Bavarian crown on top. EM/NCO pattern leather chin strap with gilt buckle. Flexible strap. Fitted onto brass end pieces wrapped around brass rings held by lion heads to both sides. 

Leather corpus in good shape. The visors show signs of wear and age.
The reverse visor has two holes. The front visor has the brass bar partially loose.

Cockade in place. EM/NCO type. Placed above the lion as only worn by infantry units. 

Leather lining. Still flexible but partially loose.

The "Raupe" as well as the cockade was re-attached somehow. You can see it was secured with cords and wire instead of the correct attachments.
