Germany - Military helmet - Prussian German Pickelhaube helmet from

Prussian German infantry Pickelhaube helmet used during World War I WWI with the eagle in the gold version already in use by the late 1800s. Very beautiful item, a real relic of the Great War 1915-1918 used on the French and Italian fronts by German troops. A gorgeous collectible piece, with signs of age and of the care taken by whoever recovered and preserved it for over 100 years. The cockades and chinstrap are not present, but this relic was brought home by a Frenchman as it appears in the auction. The badge is fixed directly to the leather; there are no fasteners for the badge. The helmet’s interior is perfectly preserved with soft leather. The outer leather preservation is spectacular. I have included many photos to appreciate it and provide every detail of the exterior, the leather, and the spike-less Pickelhaube. The leather is still soft and elastic.

Estimate:£379.43
