Tony's essay on Pickelhaube evolution inspired me to drag this Vermont barn find (literally, as it had straw and a mouse nest inside) out of the closet for a few photographs. If anyone has a spare set of chinscales, I would really appreciate hearing from you.
The Garde Adler is fire gilt and appears never to have been cleaned.
Side view: as mentioned in Tony's essay, the pearlring can be rotated to shut the ventilation holes. Unfortunately, the spike base is quite bent and the kugel is "secured" by wooden dowels.
The ink stamps from the rear visor: 1. Garde Feldartillerie Regiment
