Can anyone tell me if the M1915 pickelhaube cover (without the section on the top to cover the spike) had card inserts instead of the hooks found on most?
I have a rare example of this type and instead of the common hooks it has a thin curved piece of card at the front and rear to tuck under the helmet's peaks.
It is DRP marked and has cloth numbers stitched to the front which are covered with an additional piece of cloth following a later field camoflauge directive. Camera is being fixed at the mo - otherwise I'd have shared a piccie.
All the best gentlemen, appreciate any info you have.
Many thanks,
Simon Cooper
