My favorite pickelhaube

[gunner cooper]

its not particularly rare, its not very valuable but this saxon pickelhaube is my favourite in my collection, I think the reason is that I bought it from the grandson of the British officer who brought it back as a trophy during the war, maybe as booty from a trench raid or from a prisoner? will never know for sure.

it was squashed nearly flat when I got it.
