Offered for sale is a nice looking and rare to find Baden Landwehr M95 enlisted pickelhaube with.
The helmet has Excellent prewar markings: R114, 1908, and IIB RIR 111, which justify the Baden Landwehr wappen being worn on this helmet.
Brian repaired the top front area of the helmet, which was pushed in when I acquired it. The thread showing the before and after views of the helmet with Brian's excellent work can be found here in this thread discussion:
www.pickelhaubes.com
No extra holes in the helmet body. Original brass grommet rings are intact for the front plate.
I have tried to show the line running across the ends of the threaded screw posts for the wappen. I have gently bent the wappen to conform better to the shape of the helmet. The helmet is still sunk in a bit on the viewer's left forehead area, and I tried to show this in the photos.
Chinstrap & Kokardes are original to this helmet, and are 100% original. I show in the photos the cracking to the black surface finish on the chinstrap, and some loss to the black finish coating on the chinstrap.
One of the domed split brad retainers for the spike base is bent on the top of the dome, as seen in photos. I have not bent down the split brad prongs properly flat after the spike was removed by Brian to work on reshaping the top front forehead area of the helmet. I will leave that task to the new owner.
Leather liner is still flexible, and all the leather tongues are fully complete, and there are no tears to the leather tongues of the liner. A couple of the ends of the leather tongues are curled up a bit in the forehead area of helmet, as seen in my photos of interior, but they are complete and not damaged.
One of the nuts for the wappen is a modern white metal nut. After taking the photos, I have included a correct original tin washer to replace the shiny white metal washer that was on the viewer's right side screw post for the wappen. Unfortunately I do not have a brass nut that would fit the threaded screw posts to replace the modern shiny white metal nut on one of the screw posts.
When is the last time you have seen a Baden Landwehr M95 enlisted helmet for sale, and one that is properly issue marked to verify the use of the Baden Landwehr wappen? This is a very seldom seen helmet.

Another one of Alan's helmets which is an excellent piece with great markings. The only trouble here, is the top needs to be put back into the correct position. As is correct, no motto on the bandeau. These helmets are rare in my experience, this is the first one that I have vere had to hand...
