Hello everyone,
I finally found some time to post good photos of one of my favorite pickelhaubes that I was able to identify with the invaluable help of some members here and completed with the appropriate NCO cockade:
Kaiserliche Schutzmannschaft (Imperial Constabulary) Polizeiwachtmeister (Police Sergeant-Major) Pickelhaube M1895
The 3 main urban areas of Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen—Straßburg, Mülhausen, & Metz—were policed by the Kaiserliche Schutzmannschaft during German occupation (c1870-1918)
And the Crest of Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen (c1871-1918):
