Kompanie: 8

One of the most impressive helmets of Imperial Germany this is the rare M1915 model Cuirassiers 'lobster tail' helmet .The Cuirassiers of Imperial Germany were historically heavy cavalry troops however after their initial effectiveness in the early months of WW1 they became more useful in a reconnaissance role as the static trench warfare on all fronts set in. After 1916 many of the horses were destined to pull Artillery equipment and the men sent to fight in the trenches as were those of other traditional cavalry roles.
A rare honest untouched and original example.
