Yes they did,I converted some figures to make them for my hessian 25th division but not in the helmet,but their visored fatigue cap,like the Saxons in 1866.plus they look cool.Now I can not remember where I read it.maybe osprey,or countless reading material.I do remember using the Waldorf Astoria albums as a scource for much of my painting.I would go to the Der Alte fritz blog(Journal),and click on the Deutsche Uniformen site,and it is a treasure trove of waldorf Astoria albums and more.Good luck on your gorgeous figures,i can't wait to buy more figures I have to have.
