Is that a genuine NCO Prussian Pickelhaube ?

Dear fellow members,

As you know, my limited field of expertise is more on the Officer Pickelhaube.
A friend of mine is having this Pickelhaube.
It looks like the Kokarden are missing ?
Any help to identify it whould be great !

Many thanks

Kind regards

This belt and rosettes are not from this helmet.

parts helmet IMO

IR 29 2B 8C
Infantry Regiment 29, 2nd Battalion, 8th Company. The heavy , large chin scales look to be from a Kurassier helmet. definetly a parts helmet.

To be honest there are a hell of a lot of parts helmets out there, its really just about putting the right parts together to get the right results that fit and are correct.

Yes, with John-Josef. This helmet is homogeneous, except for the chinstrap. But as this is an 'accessory' part that can be replaced, all you have to do is remove the chinstrap and its rosettes. The rear spine shows a return under the head cover with ventilation, so this helmet is an M95 for infantry. It therefore needs a leather chinstrap, with 2 loops and 2 keys at the ends,(M91 type) and to install the 2 side posts.
