Hi folks,

There are 2 interesting haubes on ebay rite now.

An M15 Bayern haube with a 13 RI marking, I dont really sure abt the RI.
13th Infantry Rgt is the 13.Inf Rgt Kaiser Franz Joseph von Oesterreich III B, raised in 1806.

another one is my favourite, a Baden ersatz felt haube:

It has no regimental/depot mark tho. The soldering is pretty messy, but I really love this helmet.

The Baden seller is also an avid haube collector.

Hope this helps,
Mush

Hi folks,

I think I made a mistake, bestto stay away from the baden:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A%3AIT&rd=1

the rear attaching loops of the wappen had been MOVED to fit the holes. Hencee, this is no Baden haube, a prussian perhaps, and someone moved and resoldered the attaching loops of the baden, TO FIT the original holes.

Hope this helps,
Mush
