Fritz Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Sweden and Chile - an ancient monarchy and a modern banana republic, what a contrast, and in uniforms and helmets "made in Germany style", rather ridiculous, I don't think Kaiser Wilhelm would have been amused. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I seem to remember Franco's body guards wore pickelhaube style helmets as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think they are still around, now the horseguard of the King of Spain, they look rather like chromed pots with a white horsehair plume, not the elegant, symetrical form of their Prussian predecessors. As well as with a lance and a white lancer-style tunic, bit of "Stilbruch" (not matching), as they would say here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
