Swedish Pickelhaube

[poniatowski]

I thought the bust of the king (Saint, see below!) on the coat of arms was interesting. Not being into Swedish helmets, I don't know anything more about this type.

Hi this is a police pickelhaube by the Stockholm police indicated by the emblem with Saint Erik at the front with crown facing forward. Depending on what city they would have a different emblem at the centre of the pickelhaube.

Kind regards Kai

Thats correct, not at all military, these were used up until 1926

Thanks so much for the explanation! Beautiful helmets... almost enough to make one join the police department back then!
