Saxon Officer helmet of the highest quality. This is a top of the line Awes-Marke helmet as can be seen from the various niceties in the helmet construction. The liner has the Awes-Marke logo etched in the leather sweat band and the band has a high quality fabric tightening band.  The top of the liner has the Awes-Mark gold label that says premium quality.  The leather is soft and light. 

Cockades are the one piece non-serrated type.

The wappen on this helmet is gilt on gilt. Most of us are used to Silver on gilt but I have now seen 7 helmets with this configuration including the one in the Saunders book. This helmet picture comes from the 1902 Ruhl. Why no cross??? Still looking.

Why no cross???

 

The helmet is gilded and is topped with a black yak hair parade plume.
