This is another unusual and rare bird. Garde Landwehr
identification is no problem but the infantry regiments
are ruled out by silver rosettes .That leaves Eisenbhrn,
Kraftfahrer and Pioneer in the active force. The only
organization that existed in the Landwehr was Garde-Landwehr-Pioniere
Battalion. There is a picture of this
exact but rare helmet in the Hilsenbeck reference pg.
210.
As an interesting aside the Garde Landwehr did not
deploy. It was deemed to difficult to gather folks from
throughout the empire.
