Awesome find. I love them untouched and salty.

if you will look carefully at the German Generals book and the Laine book, Mecklenburg Schwerin General officers were silver trimmed and not gold.

Some time ago a member was looking for a M1842 Spike and base. I knew I had one but could not find it in my messy storage room. Voila'....It has resurfaced. This is an original and untouched Prussian M1842 Officers spike and base. Uncleaned. It does not unscrew. Stars at base are proper...

First love is the BEST. My father brought me my first Pickelhaube in 1963 when he visited family in Germany. He told me his stories of great parades with horses, armor and shiny helmets. I still have it along with his toy kurassier helmet and armor from 1910.

Great find. Very rare piece.

I have a Guard Pioneer Officer helmet with Deaths Head device. I got this from the estate of an old collector who passed away many years ago. Although I feel most of the helmets of this type are not genuine, I feel mine is. It has been examined by a number of fellow collectors who all feel it...

I would also like to see better photos. I question the spike.
