Prussia Kugelhelm Senior NCO Feldartillerie Rgt 2, Rgt 3 Pre 1897 Parade Bush:
$4045.50

Introducing a rare kugelhelm from one of the Kingdom of Prussia\'s two old-line Artillerie Regiments, the 1. Pommerisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 2 (FA Nr 2) or Feldartillerie-Regiment General Feldzeugmeister (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr 3 (FA Nr 3). Only a single Batterie in each regiment used this kugelhelm, with FA Nr 2 using it in Batterie Nr 2 and FA Nr 3 in Batterie Nr 6. This particular kugelhelm is for an NCO from one of these two regiments, making it even more exceptional.

Crafted with a delightful leather body, this kugelhelm is in excellent condition, especially considering its production prior to 1897. All of its furniture is made from brass, including the early-style chin scales, its base, pearl ring, wappen, trichter, kugel, and trim. The wappen on this kugelhelm features the \"folded-wing\" style, with a three-part bandeau (banner) flowing across the eagle\'s wings and chest that proclaims \"Mit Gott Für Koenig und Vaterland.\" An oval shield with the royal cypher \"FRW\" appears below the word \"Koenig\" in the center of the eagle\'s chest, with another bandeau proclaiming \"Colberg. 1807\" beneath it. The Battle/Siege of Colberg took place from March to July 1807, during the Napoleonic Wars, and was considered a Prussian victory.

The Prussian and Reich\'s kokarden do not appear on either side of this pre-1897 helmet. Instead, a Prussian officer\'s kokarde is displayed on the wearer\'s right side. This kugelhelm\'s final important detail is its handsome black parade bush, which is attached to a fine brass trichter. The helmet comes with a non-dress kugel, enabling the new owner to display the kugelhelm in either the parade or non-parade configuration. The brass\'s patina is very similar, indicating that they have been in place for a long time.

The kugelhelm\'s interior displays a dark-brown, leather sweatband in fine condition, with an amazing brown silk (smooth, NOT ribbed) liner attached to it. Interestingly, smooth silk liners tend to be less common, but they were a popular choice among Imperial German royalty and nobility. NO double holes appear under the silk liner where the wappen is attached, and all the hardware is 100% original to the helmet.

This rare and desirable kugelhelm, with its parade bush and trichter, is set off attractively by the \"Colberg. 1807\" banner, and it would be challenging to find an upgrade. To learn more about this kugelhelm and the history behind it, check out the links for the 1. Pommerisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 2 and Feldartillerie-Regiment General Feldzeugmeister (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr 3.

Artillerie Regiments were units of the Prussian army responsible for providing artillery support during battles. They were made up of highly skilled soldiers and were considered essential to the success of any military campaign. Two of the most prominent Artillerie Regiments in the Kingdom of Prussia were the 1. Pommerisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 2 (FA Nr 2) and Feldartillerie-Regiment General Feldzeugmeister (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr 3 (FA Nr 3).

The 1. Pommerisches Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr 2 (FA Nr 2) was created in 1808 and was based in Stettin, Pomerania. It was considered one of the oldest and most distinguished Artillerie Regiments in the Prussian army. The regiment was made up of six batteries, each consisting of six guns. The kugelhelm mentioned in the product description was used exclusively by Batterie Nr 2 of this regiment.

Feldartillerie-Regiment General Feldzeugmeister (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr 3 (FA Nr 3), on the other hand, was founded in 1816 and was based in Berlin. It was also considered one of the most distinguished Artillerie Regiments in the Prussian army. The regiment was made up of eight batteries, each consisting of six guns. The kugelhelm mentioned in the product description was used exclusively by Batterie Nr 6 of this regiment.

These Artillerie Regiments played a significant role in many battles and campaigns of the Prussian army, including the Napoleonic Wars. Their highly skilled soldiers and powerful artillery helped the Prussian army secure many victories on the battlefield.
