Fritz Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 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.

Fritz Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Following items were borrowed from the Museum: 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 Kartuschkasten from the Museum, Bandelier from my own stocks These are not rank chevrons, but qualifiation marks for good lance fencing, 3 is a higher grade, similar idea to marksmanship (lancemanship!) awards. Attila for a Sergeant or Vize-Wachtmeister of 5. Eskadron - inside date stamps for 1913 and 1914 and regimental and squadron stamps, H.R.15 / 5.E. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
