Might be a piece, that was put together during post war, either by a collector or a seller. I would say it most likely a Frankenstein pickelhaube, nontheless a piece with great bones(but with the wrong hardware. Kind regards Kai

Very nice shako well done. Do you happen to have a picture of the liner?, would love to see it. Kind regards Patrik

Thank you @Lars13, I assumed Scheiden meant departed, as in killed. I was able to find a major with that same surname listed KIA. Any idea where I can find more information about this major?, photos etc?

Hi I would like to know more about this Major, when he died and if there is any record of him. Apologies for the bad quality pictures, they are the only ones I have at the moment. Many thanks. Patrik

No my area, it is very british like in appearance to me 🙂. Kind regards Patrik

Hi Patrick looks like a british dragoon type of helmet. Kind regards Patrik

Yes correct @CLOVIS 57, I also managed to source one, from a older Swedish collection, mine needs to be more polished, but I think I plan on keeping the patina on mine.

Hi I just wanted to share this post, which I found on facebook, it is on Steve sinclair’s facebook group. This is probably a once in a lifetime find.

I would recommend buying from other collectors or via auctions such as Ratisbons or other dealers. I have found luck on ebay but It can be very risky. I am 21 so I am also on the younger side like you. @kaiserburg

I love the spike on this type of helmet. Great helmet you have @tony v

Wow great find, congratulations on such a old and fine piece.

I agree, it displays quite neat aswell.

This will be my first size 60😊, this one was hanging in a shop at Verdun, I was very lucky to get it for a normal standard helmet price.

Here is a nice early pre massproduction M1916 from Siemens & Halske A.G. in size 60. Hard to imagine that the firm Siemens went from helmets to dishwashers. The helmet seems to have suffered some shrapnel damage.

Indeed he has 😊
