As far as i know from some books (i have some books from the father of my grandma (she was born in 1909). The JzP Regiments 1-7 where issued with a blued version of the Pickelhaube which was worn by the Kürassiere but with the Dragoneradler on it (it has something to do with that the Meldereiter orignally where part of the Guards in Germany which is the reason why the JzP have Uniforms similar to the Kürassiere while for example the French Chasseurs a Cheval had Uniforms similar to those of the Hussars) regiments 1-6 also whore the same boots as the Kürassiere. Regiment 7 had the blued Steel helemt but the boots of the Dragoner.
However they had not enough blued Kürassier Pickelhauben so this is why in the JzP Regiments 8-13 only the Officers where Issued with the blued Kürassier Pickelhaube while the NCOs and other ranks where issued with the same Pickelhaube worn by the Dragoner Regiments 8-13 also (like regiment 7) was issued with Dragoner boots instead of Kürassier boots.
Originally it was planed to issued the blued Kürassier Helm to JzP Regiments 8-13 in 1915 but with the outbreak of the war this was abandoned.
