Officer Model 1871–1899 helmet of Infantry Regiment No. 110 of the Grand
Duchy of Baden, issued to an officer of the Grenadier Regiment Kaiser
Wilhelm I 2nd Baden No 110. Fine example with gilt brass fittings. The
shell is not re-perforated and shows no significant damage aside from a
very slight small chip to the left side just above the state cockade.
The front visor and rear neck guard are respectively lined on the
interior with green and red leather in accordance with period practice.
The leather sweatband and brown silk liner are present and well
preserved. Fine front plate depicting the griffin with openwork crown.
The tall spike is removable allowing the attachment of the Haarbusch
specific to this unit and also facilitating storage and transport of the
helmet during the period. The chinstraps are of the flat scale type and
complete. The officer pattern cockades are present and the
characteristic Baden Landeskokarde in red with gilt edge is observed,
undented and of ribbon form as typically encountered. A fine helmet
representative of one worn by a Baden infantry officer prior to the
World War I
