ww1czechlegion Well-known member Dec 4, 2021 #13 Great looking helmets, gentlemen! Congratulations! Here is my example which is also Depaheg Patent maker marked on the liner, and Depot Issue marked on the rear visor. And a couple of super rare photos of this type of helmet being worn. Here's a link to the original posting: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/thr...-depaheg-patent-pickelhaube-being-worn.13712/ Here are the other helmets I bought that came from the family at the Minnesota show, and the wartime steel Prussian Bugle: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/helmets-walk-in-at-minnesota-military-show-in-st-paul.6440/ Best Wishes, Alan Landwehr Infantry Regiment 71 wearing these helmets in 1915 Last edited: Dec 4, 2021
