HI gang,

Here is an interesting M15 haube, it has 2 Rgt markings, JR 22 and JR 23. It has great liner.
And the bid is still surprisingly low !

Size 52...that is one little helmet. Very nice though, great for that desk in the study!

Hi Robert,

Yes, size 52, thats pretty small, sometimes it makes me think tho, I mean, allright, nutrition wasnt as good as it is today, but, was it that BAD? Those guys were really small then, wouldnt they look awkward when carrying a rifle? But they didnt look that petit in period pics.

And surprisingly, the haube only fetched $375.

Cheers,
Mush

Hi Mush,
Hi Robert,

nice to meet you again. I was too late on this puppy. Bad luck. :-(

Size: Please keep in mind that the soldiers during the great war were unfortunately sometimes very young. Sixteen years+.

Best;
Jerry

Hi Jerry!

Great to have you around! And especially glad to know that you are still collecting haubes LoL

16 years old? Now thats very young, btw, I am curious abt the difference in nutrition between the 2 World wars, the SS div Hitler Jugend was also consisted of 16 and 17 years old, were the HJs as small as their WW I counterpart or bigger? I hope I am not off topic here.

Yes, that sized 52 M15 was a surprise, I didnt realize that it will be sold just under 400, and it was well marked, too.

There is another haube on ebay,
