Hello – Over the years, I’ve seen at two or three pickelhauben with holes in the rear visors. The story is that the owners used the holes to hang the haube on a wall after the war. Does that make sense as a likely reason?
Yes it was relatively common, you'll find photos from just after the war of a type of victory pyramid covered in hundreds of haubes that were hung like this
Yes, I am owning two or three like this.
They were brought back trophies by french or british soldiers and nailed this way to a wall or over a fireplace in their home als souvenirs of the war an the victory against imperial Germany.
