5/15/24 – This is a textbook example of a private purchase WW1 Prussian Infantry Officer’s Pickelhaube. The helmet shell is pressed blackened leather with some typical exterior cracking and wrinkling throughout. The backside shows a few scuffs and areas of discoloration and texture. This is generally mild however, and the shell is in great overall condition with mild pliability. The crown features 4 star-shaped rivets (each star with 8 points) and a removeable top spike. The back spine of the shell is unvented and has a small dent but is in great overall condition. All of the metal fixtures are bronze and have a natural aged look. The front Prussian imperial eagle is in great condition and secure. The (correctly) magnetic cockades are original and have excellent color. The chinstrap has black and brown leather base which is topped by bronze scales. The front visor is lined with bronze as well. The interior is all original and in great shape. The back visor has some mild deformity, but the rest of the helmet shape is nice. The stitching of the interior two-piece retractable liner is missing around the backside, leaving the cloth somewhat loose inside, but about half of the stitching is still intact so the liner is secure. Overall a great condition example of a Prussian Officer Pickelhaube.
