A beautiful example. Wow. I am surprised that there isn't a Reichsadler or even a remnant of one on the frontside of this piece. Wouldn't that have been present?
Well done and a beautiful one.
Best Regards,

Hi Justin and thank you for the appreciament.
Not all the imperial german pith helmets
have been equipped with the reichadler. The reichadler is mainly utilized on the oestasia expeditionary korp pith helmets and in some cases by the military governors and naval officers of the african german's protectorates.
Mostly the german pith helmets were equipped with only the small reich kokarde.
