Officer Pickelhaube Infantry Regiment "Lübeck" (3rd Hanseatic) No. 162

Thank you, everyone, for your comments. Yes, this is the best helmet I have ever had in my militaria collection. I believe a post opined that mint pickelhaubes such as this one were most likely purchased by soldiers on Urlaub or vacation from the front for a wedding and not worn again due to the owner's demise or after the collapse of the Holerzolen Dynasty.
Best regards,
John
 
Very nice to have found a matching shoulder strap for your excellent officer helmet John! :)
Congratulations! It display's really nice with the medals and shoulder strap.

Regards, Coert.
 
Coert,
Thank you very much for the comment. This helmet is by far the nicest I have owned, and adding a few era items tells the pickelhaube's story a bit better.
Best regards,
John
