Very impressive pair of pickelhauben. Thanks much for the detailed pictures and explanation of what you found in examining the helmet John.

That is a very nice time capsule of the period that a Great War Veteran most likely brought home.

Willkommen im Forum. Das ist eine schöne Uniform und Pickelhaube. Ich danke Ihnen für das Teilen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, John Welcome to the forum. That is a beautiful uniform and pickelhaube display. Thank you for sharing. Best regards, John

Based upon the discussion so far, but mostly on personal experience, I would pass on the uniform altogether. Unless it is at a bargain price, you will regret spending money and time. That is just my opinion from the cheap seats and bitter experience. Cheers! John

Good Luck!
