Advice on Bavarian officer and police helmets

[Pickels14]

Hi, new user and relatively new to the world of Pickelhaube.

Could anyone provide advice on the following helmets? I lm not sure about the police cockade as it’s not the Bavarian colours and I believe it should be.


Any advice on the officer helmet would be appreciated too.

Your Bavarian police(Gendarme) helmet is just fine, they came both ways with Reich kokarden and or Bavarian Kokarden, I have attached pics of mine. I use to know the reason why they had different color kokarden, but I cannot remember now, it sucks getting old. Your Bavarian Reserve officer helmet looks fine IMO from what I can see in the pics, would love to see the inside...

Thanks very much! Those look great with no crazing. If you recall why there were different colours please let me know. Happy new year!

Too bad, your comment is interesting. This remains a mystery unless someone responded and I didn't see https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/attachments/dsc03448-jpg.53992/
