Baden helmet with unique spike securing method

[Amybellars]

Got this haube weeks ago but as I was away, I only have the chance to look at it today.

Spike is removable and secured in a unique way.

Reich cockade is not required and if has a massive 75mm state cockade.

Well done, Amy. This grandpa is truly handsome, and you don't see many like it.
The particular rounded metal shinscaled is unique to the Grand Duchy of Baden.
I've never seen a spike attachment like that.

Great find, I would not worry about the spike attachment!

Very cool these huge old pickelhauben. I've never seen one from Baden.
How many of these old types have you managed to find until now?

Stunning piece, I love it! May I ask where did you find such a rare piece? I see the occasional 1843 Prussian helmet come up every so often, but a Baden model, wow!

Absolutely gorgeous Amy, it looks to be in fantastic shape too. The Baden wappen is still my favorite design.

Very cool addition to your superb collection! Can you show me how the chin scales and lugs attach to helmet? Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Very nice Amy. I have one or two of those spike attachments in the old beasts like that in my collection if I recall. My compliments on another nice find!
