Description

Imposing WWI Jager zu Pferde helmet

Imperial German (Prussian) Model 1905 helmet for a Jager zu Pferde [Mounted Dispatch Rider], as issued to enlisted men in Regiments 1 through 7. The inside of the helmet’s dome is stamped “Br. Jsraei, 1918,” and the underside of the visor is painted dark green. The helmet plate is die-stamped metal with the Prussian eagle insignia with German motto reading: “Mit Gott Fur Koenig Und Vaterland.” The inner leather headband is mostly intact, but has several tears and separations. The helmet is missing the roundels and chin-scales, but is otherwise in fine condition. Due to the size and fragile nature of this item, special packing and shipping options will apply.
