Thank you for the replies & help. Best regards to all, Rocky

Thank You all for your help. Sorry if I ask too many questions. Thanks, Rocky

Another thing: the magnetism of the fittings should be checked... The plates look grey-iron to me, but the tip is not the M15 retractable model. Hi Clovis, sorry about the misunderstanding. My only questions were what to replace wire or nails holding the front plate on. I know originally...

b. loree, Could you buy repro leather wedges or do people just make their own? Regarding the front plate on the helmet I posted here, should the front plate be magnetic or non magnetic? Thanks for your replies. Rocky

Clovis, what style Pickelhaube is the one you posted? Peter, nice Pickelhaube. Also it was mentioned that the front plate should be magnetic. Correct? When the leather strip holding the front plate on is missing or it has a piece of wire or a nail holding it on, etc. do they have something...

Noah, thank you for your fast response and help. All you guys were a great help. Rocky

Thanks for all the information. I am not going to buy it. I was just wondering if the chin strap & any one of those cockades would go with the other one I had posted. That is the late war canvas one on this same section. Rocky

Hi, what would you say that this helmet is worth? About $350-$400? What cockade that I have posted would go on this helmet because there are 2 different ones on this helmet. Any help again would be appreciated. Thanks, Rocky

Thanks again, Rocky

Thanks for all the help. I am going to stop by next week to see if I can get it. What kind of cockades would go with this helmet? I know the red, white & black but how about on the other side? Would they & also a chin strap be hard to find? Thanks, Rocky

The black disc should be on the inside and by bending the tabs & placing it on the tabs & bending them back? Is that correct? Again, thanks for all the information. Rocky

Here is another picture of the other side of the helmet. The black disc should be on the inside and by bending the tabs & placing it on the tabs & bending them back. Thanks, Rocky

As of now the guy that has the helmet does not want to sell it. What would be a reasonable offer when he does want to sell it? Thanks, Rocky

Another thing: the magnetism of the fittings should be checked... The plates look grey-iron to me, but the tip is not the M15 retractable model. In reply to CLOVIS, the frontal plate should be magnetic? Thanks, Rocky

Hi, I know a guy that has this Pickelhaube & I was looking at it & took a few pics. I believe it is one of those late war ones. It is missing the chin strap & cockades and someone put an extra frontal plate on it. It is also unit marked. Any Opinions? Thanks, Rocky
