Those are amazing!! As many of you know I’m not the best with identifying helmets but it seems rreal! Once again amazing find

Would there be any way to fix the crooked hemet shape or is there nothing i could do

Ah okay thanks for letting me know. Are they easy to install to your helmet? Arta this helmet is the second Kurassier helmet on eBay maybe the other one sold but this specific helmet was one of two with the eagles head missing on the wappen. Interesting how it was in a different site now on...

Thank you b lore, is it worth bidding the kurassier helmet since bidding is low and those style helmets, let alone an officer one are expensive. What is a split brad and is it necessary? Also what to do about the broken rivet on the m15 I’m sure replacement wappens for kurassier helms are expensive

Yes your right but how could I fix the river at the end of the front visor for that one though?

Lovely!!

I check griffin every day haha. He has a pre war model up but the spike is crooked therefore I don’t want it. He also has a few tsapska helmets up and a nice artilery officer

Alright then, let’s see what other people say. Just the thing that worries me is the rounded spike and the 1918 stamp

Worth the money! Once I get a pickelhaube helmet I will most certainly buy one

Haha that‘s amazing! I love seeing these things restored instead of scrapped for parts. Look at the helmet stand, where did you buy that unless you made it. Once again superb job! 👍 Colin

Actually, here are some pictures of the listing. Two of them are pictures the guy privately sent me after requesting for better images.

There is a helmet on eBay that I saw that was dated 1918 and the spike looks rounded. I’ll take your word on this one to wait. I posted the helmet on this forum a while ago under a thread called 2 eBay helmets. Not saying it’s fake but with what you said it probably is. I’ll wait for a different...

I actually have 2 more questions about M15 pickelhauben Did they ever have rounded spikes? Most M15 spikes I see are pointy, did some maybe have dull or rounded points? Did they still make M15 pickelhauben out of leather past 1916 like for example did they make leather pickelhauben m1915 in 1918?

Yeah I don’t know I just saw it pop up I was curious what you thought of the condition of it and stuff. Probably not buying it your defiantly right the price is pretty up there for an incomplete helmet

https://militaryantiquestoronto.com/products/ww1-imperial-german-prussian-other-ranks-m15-pickelhaube-spiked-helmet?_pos=1&_sid=c189bace8&_ss=r Opinions on this one?

Alright so that gives me more confidence in buying M15s. Yes I have seen Indian reproductions all over eBay infact I have one but I bought it knowing it was a reproduction. But yeah there is a higher chance with pre war models and the different shading of the parts. Makes me raise an eyebrow

Here is something else common I see that is worth discussing. Sometimes I see a helmet come up where the person says all parts are original yet here’s an example for a M15. The spike might be a different shade of gray from the wappen or spike base or the wappen might be a different shade of gray...

It’s not the misshapen one 😂 I might think about getting the EM with gold paint but then again I am also waiting cuz ya never know what comes up for these helmets. Could be a better one popping up on another site

Reason I ask is because there is a Pickelhaube for sale on Bay state militaria and it has a removable spike with brass looking plates. Could just be the yellow coloring you were talking about

Hello, did they ever make M15 helmets with brass fittings? I think of the M15 helmet made out of silver or whatever gray metal that was with a removable spike, but did they make any helmets with gold fittings or brass fittings with removable spikes?
