Restoration contract was given by the Denkmalamt Hamburg in coordination with the Bauabteilung of the Bezirksamt Wandsbek, completed in mid March. Costs were about 100.000 Euro. The old memorial of 1923 will also be restored by the end of the year, a spokesman stated.

The headdress is an older copy using some original parts
Bandeau is original, has been overpainted in aluminium paint
Metal cockade is from a Prussian police Tschako of the 1920s-early 1930s, should be either cloth or of velvet and white cord
The chinscales are flat and of white metal, wrong, they should be convex and yellow metal, the side posts also - these parts are probably from a helmet of the 1st. Foot Guards
The busby bag is of yellow cotton, should be fine yellow wool doeskin cloth
The fur is foalskin, should be sealskin, liner is from an original helmet, otherwise a fair copy

These are not rank chevrons, but qualifiation marks for good lance fencing,  3 is a higher grade, similar idea to marksmanship (lancemanship!) awards.
