No glitter and glamour for this helmet ,
This is my latest find , a 1914 Felt pickelhaube , made without back spine .
This helmet gave as much protection as a Charlie Chaplin hat.
Original strap ,cockades and cover… with earth dust still inside…..
The pictures are taken in “ de dodengang” of Diksmuide ,
in the last genuine remaining WW I trenches.
