Original U.S. WWI 5th Infantry “Red Diamond” Division M1917 Doughboy Helmet - Complete Schwarzlose MG with Adolf Ritter von Tutschek

with Adolf Ritter von Tutschek in command

The tripod and cased Anemometer were both brought back after the war as a war trophy and contained in another wood box

All in all a nice example of a very rare Weimar Republic M1884/94 IIe Bayonet

The colors remain nice and bright
