Not Imperial, but one of the coolest helmets ever!

Just recently got this M1842 U.S. Spiked helmet!

Rare to find in any condition and this one is in great shape.

Complete with Large leather painted Red, White and Blue kokarden.

Enjoy

We often forget that countries other than Germany have adopted the Pickelhaube.

Colin, we don’t ask for “cost” here. Excellent helmet James, I never could have imagined ever seeing a US model 1842. !

Congratulations James, a real beauty. Didn’t know that the US-Army also wore the M1842

The old rule says that if a collector doesn't want to say how much he paid for a unique item, it means he got it for free from some poor grandmother.

Very nice James. Was this U.S. Army or one of the militia units?
