Pointed helmet mod 1895 of a Württemberg grenadier of the R 119. Very beautiful bomb in good shape without dents or deformation, and in its original varnish, beautiful nickel silver patina on all the fittings, silver plate and mounted with screws, tip removable, good leather chin strap and good cockades. interior complete and in good condition, beautiful markings in the nape: R 119.1902, 12 C, and the size, and in the hull a label which appears partly torn. A rare helmet, in its original state. Become very rare. From August 21 to 27, 1914 he participated in the battles of Longwy, Barancy and Tellancourt. At the beginning of September the 26th Infantry Division was engaged at Varennes-Montfaucon then Exermont and Eclisfontaine, on September 4 and 5 they were moved to Verdun and Argonne. From the 6th to the 12th, there were the battles of Vaubecourt-Fleury, Evres, Sommaisne, Varennes. Then from October 15, they fought in Lille, Comines, Radinghem, Fromelles and Ypres!
