I think that this photo is the same used on the back of the
dust cover of the helmet book done by Col. Rankin back in the 1970's
This was the first helmet reference book that I knew of when I started to collect.
It started me off into this hobby.

I am a little late to this thread as I was gone this weekend. I have a privilege of owning an original Newspaper photograph (11x14 inches) of the classic well known Pickelhaube pyramid and have picked up other pics along the way as well as a shot of a man showing how he put them on the pyramid. Lastly a pic of a couple of Canadians having some fun with their bring backs.

Thanks to all for the photos! Looking closely at the pyramid, I see a few Saxon, one Bavarian, several Prussian dragoon, several Prussian guard, and mostly standard Prussian infantry. Interesting there wasn’t more Bavarian or maybe a Würtemburg.

I would think that they came mainly from a Prussian A K

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what you meant
then I looked closer at the helmet backwards on her head
Then I saw it was a Dragoon
BUT , not just a Dragoon but D R 3 or Grenadier Regt zu Pferde # 3 !
the side lugs
