well, noone of his rank would be actually "in battle", but in 1871 he had his own staff and participated

if only by interferring with military decisions

Historically true maybe, but for VSF/Alternative History scenarios why not?

After all Napoleon didn't object to getting stuck in, so why not Bismark ;)

Then again, as a politician he may be best suited to ruining the Armies decisions  lol

well, if You want to add something anyway, maybe You should put a spike on the helmet - artillery helmet and cavalry uniform don't really fit together

OK, the picture is very small - but if it is an artillery officer he is bound to have a ball on the helmet, not a spike
but never mind it's 15mm anyway

I understand what you mean. I think because of small scale, Irrgegulars used the same helmet for artillery crew and infantry
