Two weeks ago I bought on an large european militaria auction this Pickelhaube. It is marked with 1.G.R.z.F. 1st Garde regiment zu Fuss.
Since these two weeks I am looking on the internet for information. This is why I found this forum.
As far as I know is this an enlisted men's pickelhaube. Garde ersatz or landwehr. Is there a difference?
The eagle, the point and the star are made in white metal. Does it mean that it is from a pioneer?
The cross is beatiful sunken in the star.
Can someone tell me more about my helmet.
Here are the pictures (I hope it will work).
Thanks for helping.
