Afternoon all … this pickelhaub was part of my late father’s collection and would appreciate any assistance in its identification.
Markings on rear visor are pretty illegible, have done my best with the photo.
To be totally honest it’s not in my realm of interests , so will be looking to sell.
Many thanks in advance.
 
Hello,
This is an infantry pickelhaube.
The stamp says; 23 IR IB 1913 which stands for 23rd Infantry Regiment, 1st Battalion, year 1913.
The eagle does not belong there, it is from a Dragoner helmet...
 
The helmet is a model 1895 Prussian infantry piece, with incorrect Dragoon helmet plate. The outside is in very nice condition but unfortunately, it looks like Mickey Mouse has munched on the liner

You’re not wrong there …
Thanks for the info
