and unfortunately only around 40% of the gilding remains

The pile of bodies had grown during the night

our firing companies have been under the control of the Division's Regimental Antitank Officers and generally were used to reinforce the organic regimental antitank defense

until the last moment when the entire regiment turned their shields to face the enemy - who would only realize which of Shaka's regiments they faced with seconds to spare

but the constant expectancy of something about to happen minimized reality into a shapeless pulp of sleep

Original Pre-WWI German Leather Fire Brigade Helmet Miscellaneous Gun Parts and unfortunately only around 40%Original Item: One Only. Pickelhaube style leather body with brass comb, brass trim and fittings. Front badge reads Freiwilliger Feuerwehr. Background symbols of profession include crossed axes, ladder and ropes. Full leather lining is still intact. Circa 1900 to 1915. Condition overall is very good though the brim has lost its stitching making it loose but is still held in place. This is an unusual and attractive item.
