My First And Only German Pickelhaube~
 

Thanks to George Anderson~

I can see Eric now...his recently acquired shooter in hand, and this jobber adorning his pate! You da Man!

This is made of thick leather, right?

Yes, that is very nice. Congrats on owning such a ornate piece of German military history.

Jerry, I try to learn something new or exciting ever day! That how I find an occasional prize~~ Tks for being you! Eric

Very nice helmet Eric. Baden pickelhauben are hard to find and that unit mark is a plus.
Regards, Norm

I can't see this leather helmet protect you from anything other than pigeon droppings!

Is it true Pickelhaubes only fit Sauer Krauts? I was also looking thru a collection and noticed that the majority are very small, were Germans known for smaller heads then?

In 1915 all folks were smaller.

Dave, yes, its so fragile. George told me to rest the helmut on a canned something to prevent it from the leather crown from bearing any weight and most important supporting its leather integrity. Thank You George!
