I have had this Pickelhaube in my collection for decades, but I don’t know what it is?
Can anyone help?

Thanks for the advice, but I will try to sell it as it is. I’m sure there are plenty of capable handymen here at the forum that will enjoy the effort.You have a complete pre war OR’s helmet there, all you need to do is find the correct Prussian kurassier plate for it. You could easily sell the Hessian plate here on the forum. We also have a parts wanted section so someone may sell you the correct plate.
Är du från Sverige? Jag bor I Norge . Jeg har mange svenske pickelhauben og svenske Kepi.I would be interested

Thanks for the repeat synopsis.Hello,
As said, Prussian cuirassier helmet Model 89/94 (round visor, side post 91-94) maker's mark from Berlin.
But, it is a composite piece. Repainted in black, on top, and green underneath. Chinstrap with scales of man mounted except Kurassier M94 and Jäger zu Pferde M1905, rivets of attachment of point not in conformity, and plate Hessian fancy, which has nothing to do on this helmet.

I believe you are not right. I just read that this is a StabsordonnanzenYou have a complete pre war OR’s helmet there, all you need to do is find the correct Prussian kurassier plate for it.

On the other hand, it is easy to restore its authentic aspect, in particular by polishing the shell, by affixing the good cuirassier eagle, the good chinstrap (rare in spare parts), and the good roundels.
You may be wrong about that.The Chin scales that are currently on this helmet are for a leather pickelhaube helmet, specifically for mounted troops (Artillery, Train Batallion) and are not the correct Cavalry style of chin scales for this enlisted man's helmet.
Looks like someone re-painted underside of visors on this helmet interior with John Deere Green Paint.
I'm curious why the outer shell of this helmet has been blued or darkened. It should be polished steel.
It also looks like there's a need for some domed threaded screws for the spike base when I see the 2-thin split brad wire ones from viewing the interior of helmet photo.
There is a nice incorrect Bavarian enlisted kokarde on this helmet as well, shown in the excellent photos.

Is the body black ?The helmet itself is a Prussian kurassier helmet. The Hessen front plate does not belong on it.
