Baden IR 110=114 Enlisted Pickelhaube.

[horseguards]

Just acquired this and would welcome opinions as to authenticity.
Body is heavily lacquered leather in great condition; cockades likely replacements and not sure about chinstrap.
Interior leather shows some wear. Wappen only attached with two leather straps & a bit loose.
I will let photos hopefully speak for themselves.
Thanks in advance.

It is a very clean train abteilung helmet. I had considered snagging that one myself!

Many thanks for your replies.
I cleaned off the edge where the stamp is and it now looks like T.A. 14, the 14 somewhat smudged.
I do wish the wappen was attached more securely.
Also, I presume train pickelhaubes are not as valuable as those of combat arms?

A beautiful shiny helmet, congratulations and thank you for sharing

nice helmet, I think the chinstrap is fine, hard to tell on kokarden from pics.

The leather tabs holding the wappen on are correct, so a little loose is ok!

Marked Train helmets in my opinion are much harder to find and in this case holds good value.

As a young person, I've got the time, but ahh yes the money, there is the rub.
