Pickelhauben in use in modern Germany

[pointystuff]

Some of these helmets are apparently modern copies, but some of them may be originals...

Nice footage of the event, I also watched the other two parts but I liked the cyclists most which probably requires some skill on the cobblestone pavement =D>

There are some more pictures in their galery:

That was GREAT!!!! So cool, thought I heard the Colonel Bogey march for a brief moment, I bet the two French soldiers felt a bit lonely, they had their Chassepot's though.

Thanks for sharing this...

Here's a guy wearing what appears to be an Indian-made import helmet:

Very, very nice. I found a German web site one time full of reenactors in Imperial uniforms. There are some very, very nice repro pickelhauben out there. I found a German outfit that makes them, but the price is very, very expensive!

I found this link to a German company that sells all kinds of repro items:
