Opis z neta: A Pickelhaube Spiked Helmet of the 34 Infantry Regiment (Item KSPEC 1-1 & KHELMET 2-14) DESCRIPTION: This is one of the most rare of all the Pickelhauben we have ever had to offer, it is the Prussian Landwehr Infantry Regiment No. 34 Officers spiked helmet. This elite regiment was formed as the guard Regt. of Queen Victoria of Sweden in earlier times. The front plate consists of the Prussian Heraldic Eagle bearing a scroll upon its lower body which is inscribed ‘Fur Auszeichnung D’ Vormaligen. Königl. Schwedischen Leibregt. Königin” (In Commemoration of former service in the Kingdom of Sweden’s Queens Body Guard Regiment.) This special helmet plate was authorized on December 5th 1865 for enlisted and NCO personnel in the 33rd regt. Officers received the device from May 19, 1891 to include the 34th Infantry Regiment. The confusion comes in when we try to figure out if the 34th was an Infantry regt. or Fusilier Regt., but this helmet is designed for Landwehr because of the silver iron cross mounted in front of the plate. All we know is that they were an elite regiment in any case and the helmet is in practically immaculate condition and is considered very rare by advanced helmet collectors. The helmet has the black leather body with gilt furniture including spike, round base, star stud retainers, visor trim and flat infantry style scaled chin straps. The latter secured to the helmet body by gilt rosettes and the left side has the Prussian black and white large rosette as well. The helmet has its original carrying case but the straps and buckles are history (gone!). The silver plated Landwehr iron cross is inscribed ‘Mit Gott Fur Konig und Vaterland’ 1813. This designates the wearer as a member of the Landwehr and the translation is ‘With God for King and Fatherland”. The Landwehr term as used refers to the Royal Edict of 17 March 1813 which called up all men capable of bearing arms between the ages of 18 and 45. After 1815 this force was made an integral part of the Prussian Army, each Brigade consisting of one line and one Landwehr Regiment.
