Offered is a Prussian Ersatz Pickelhaube in metal with the integral visors and shallow profile.
Black lacquer paint has some loss as seen in photos.
There is a very small ding/dent in the top rear of the spike base area that I have circle edited in red line on one of the photos.
The leather liner is present, but in rough condition as seen in photos. The leather liner is torn along the band on one side as seen in photos. The good news is that it appears that all of the "fingers" or leather "tongues" are present on the leather liner, even though it is torn on the band.
The brass front plate has some verdigris on the viewer's left side of the eagle and on the staff, seen in photos, and this should be an easy clean up project.
This helmet is being sold as I acquired it recently, it came with no chinstrap or kokardes.
Helmet makes for a nice display.
$750.00 or "Best Offer"
PayPal payment is o.k. I prefer "friends and family" or add 4% to cover the fee.
USA Postage: $14.00 via Priority Mail w/Tracking.
Canada Postage: $35.00 via 1st Class International Mail with a tracking number.
UK, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands Postage: $45.00 via 1st Class Mail with a tracking number.
Singapore Postage: $55.00 via 1st Class International Mail with a tracking number.
Thanks,
Alan
