Another Baden M1915 EM Pickelhaube

[RON]

How come this one is dated 1918 according to the seller?
Weren't the Pickelhaubes discontinued in 1916 with the adoption of the Stahlhelm?

Actually, it might read '1916' after all ('6' misread by seller as '8')...
Too bad the body is in bad shape as the plate seems excellent.

Perhaps the seller is mistaken but as far as I can see, from the somewhat unclear pictures, the helmet is stamped 1916 on the inside.

From my Larcade Volume I:
Baden Infantry:
Regts Nrs 110-114
Regt 142
Regts 169 and 170

All belonged to the XIV Armee Korps.
So the stamp BA (Bekleidungs Amt) XIV matches.
