When I write something, Google translates it faster and the whole page and then I don't know if the answer is in Polish or English. I hope I have corrected what I wanted to write to you.

There is something on that screw, but it looks more like random dots of paint.

Lars, this could be a good lead, just looking for why someone would cover up certain information, someone who wanted to reveal. They did things like that during WWII.

I wonder if we can solve this mystery. Pickelhaube 1871 with markings. Fusiliers, which company, which regiment. It would be great to solve it.

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

Sold 1915, this is the first Pickelhaube for the young collector.

Sprzedany 1915, jest to pierwszy Pickelhaube dla młodego kolekcjonera.

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
