Nice helme..missing the kokarden though. Love that tall fashion spike (At least that is what I call them) Brian
 
The thing I found most interesting about this helmet was the spike base. This seems to be a relatively rare Fähnrich adaptation. What is interesting is that all three helmets I have seen this on were from a train battalion. I don't know if this was some sort of train battalion deal or if this was just coincidence. The pictured example originally was in Tony Colson's collection.

My example with that spike base combo. Also with Fähnrich Kokarden! I aquired this from a family in 1988 and am the first collector to own it. Flat scales, so it is Infantry. More pics >> http://www.kaisersbunker.com/dunkelblau/helmets/dbh13.htm

Tony,

Does yours have the two stripes on the tall spike? So much for the train battalion idea. I wonder if it is a specific maker?

I'll look when I get home. I am at the Naval Base in Halifax right now.

Yours Aye.. Tony
