Thanks,

Jäger zu Pferde Regiments 8 to 13 wore only the M07/10 Feldrock with Dragoner pattern Pickelhaube. The helmet on ebay is Infantry. Probably a replaced rear visor? But when?

Mark, Western Front troops had priority, but eventually everyone would have been fitted out. But I am sure there must have still been troops on the Eastern front and in rear areas wearing Pickelhaubes right until Nov 1918.
 
Thank's again . I should have remembered that rear area troops wore them , as well as eastern front. I think on another topic you mention Arttilery units wearing Kugel's till 1917 in certain areas.
