    Pickelhaube Opinion

    Yes, including the Württemberg plate, model 15, which can be valued at €150, and adding it to the €600 above.

    Baden pioneer, question.

    Hello Philippe, Thank you for your comment, contradiction is always interesting. I see that the translation has been messing around again. I didn't mean "obliged". Let's say customary. But it doesn't matter: ---Let's just say that my observation of hundreds of "0fficier" helmets shows a...

    Pickelhaube Opinion

    Canvases are rare. The hull and liner are good. That's a plus. Missing the roundels and chinstrap, quite a lot of damage and handling, that's a minus. 600€ in France. (The Württemberg plate is recoverable).

    Hello, like David. Spiked helmet made by one or more German manufacturers, and intended for the Swedish army. The model 1845 or 49 already existed. Infantery : Dragon : Leib-Garde :

    Pickelhaube Opinion

    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.

    Pickelhaube Opinion

    This is an Ersatz helmet made from leather, pressed cardboard or cork. Unlike felt helmets, these are edged with a sewn-on leather or coated canvas band for added strength. The eagle alone corresponds to the Prussian Line Infantry Regiment 136, which I know well as it is garrisoned in Dieuze...

    Here is a helmet found in a ditch on the Chemin des Dames in the Aisne, France: Hamburg police.

    Question Pickelhaube

    Indeed, the same helmet. It was the red piping on the firefighters' helmets and the blue or silver piping on the policemen's helmets that made it easy to tell them apart. But as far as the firefighters were concerned, the spiked helmet was not a "fire" helmet, but a ceremonial helmet.

    Looks to be a liner to Pickelhaube bead roller.

    I don't think so. I'm thinking more of the M15 sheet metal model, entirely painted in Feldgrau (khaki). Felt helmets, in fact, have iron trimmings that are not the same color as the felt, whereas here, the whole helmet is the same color. I don't think so. I'm thinking more of the M15 sheet...

    M95 Prussian Rolled Edge Felt Ersatz Artillery Pickelhaube

    Beautiful, bravo. Take a close look at the liner. As far as I know, felt-tip pens with hemmed edges are a Bambus original.

    Wappen Attachment Weirdness?

    Yes, these are the "0fficier" productions of mobilization and war. Often with zinc-plated steel washers, but here we can't see any traces of washers, so it's a good vintage assembly.

    Looks to be a liner to Pickelhaube bead roller.

    The above-mentioned crimper was for the Weissenburger-Cannstatt helmet, a registered design accepted by the German army and the subject of a supply contract. (and also the Von der Heyde, manufactured in Berlin under license from Weissenburger). The basane liner is missing. You can clearly...
