I hope that the new owner of the Pickelhaube will visit our forum. Shared a photo with us.

The old rule says that if a collector doesn't want to say how much he paid for a unique item, it means he got it for free from some poor grandmother. :D

I did the same at the beginning, I bought replacements, but Wojtek is right, it's a waste of time and money, because you will still strive for the beauty of the original parts. You can exchange the ones you don't get

What do you think about it, I like the old grenadiers, they are unbeatable. https://www.weitze.net/militaria/22/Preussen_Pickelhaube_fuer_einen_Feldwebel_in_einem_Linien_Grenadier_Regiment__428722.html

I also think it will be the manufacturer, although a red flag goes off in my mind: why only two producers, or does it have a different meaning?

Perhaps this is the older type Lars mentioned, one is dotted and the other is smooth

Now I see that the red background is not an officer, so what will be the difference?

I started to look at the eagle and I see some differences that I have marked, a different manufacturer or an officer and regular variety?

Hi Steve. Thanks for the answer, I was just wondering about the regiment, the pickelhaube comes from Poland.

Hi Henk. Now it looks great because you can see your work. Great job, and I really like old German publications. Regards
