Today I can show you a rare socalled " scroll helmet" a perticular ersatz pickelaube mainly utilized in Palestine o balcanic area. It cames with it's spike. In the time photos the spike was often removed.

Zeb, as far as I know the name of that museum is Fort de la Pompelle. I was visiting it in 1992, when the collection was still presented the old-fashioned way. Now, it has been shown in an other way. It has been posted before here, the new style of showing the collection.Thank you Bruno for your appreciament.
In a museum I believe in France, I don't remember the name at this moment, a helmet is shown exactly identical to my example, with the plate without a number. It is attributed to the Wurttembergisches Mountain Korp and wears the red-black cockade. I should have some photos on file but right now my computer is dead and I'm trying to recover the data. You are right! A plausible hypothesis is certainly that the number was painted on the plate only when the helmet was assigned to some unit.

Was there more than one example at La Pompelle? I can't remember. The one from La Pompelle pictured in Larcade's book is marked to a Mountain Machine Gun Detachment:Zeb, as far as I know the name of that museum is Fort de la Pompelle.
