Salty 36 Füsilier pickelhaube.

Hi All,

been I a while since I posted,but finally got to it.
Here is my new salty 36R, or Füsilier-Regiment (Magdeburgisches) Nr. 36 pickelhaube.
The stamps match the ones as found on the article from colonel J:

Does the 1B means first Battalion?

The spine base is marked with EH, which is Emil Hagen in my opinion.

There are no double holes, however it has been cleaned a long time ago, the helmet plate has been put back by split pens (that is why the cross of the scepter broke off I assume). It also looks like the Prussian Kokarde is a reichskokarde, as the inner part has a red hue to it. If so which of the two would have been original to the helmet?

Thanks to this site I could find some pictures of the helmet in wear:

Very nice, well marked helmet. 1B does mean first Battalion. I have never seen a spine stamped EH before. Congratulations!
