Original Item: Only One Available. This is a traditional German first world war with Prussian brass mounted leather helmet known as a Pickelhaulbe. It displays lovely condition brass Prussian spread eagle helmet plate and comes complete with supple original leather liner. Partial chinstrap included. The spike on top denotes infantry issue, and it has the correct black and white (Prussian) and Tri-color (German Empire) cockades around the chin strap lugs.

The helmet was made by Julius Jansen STRASSBURG in 1912, as indicated on the ink stamp inside the crown. The rear skirt is marked as well with size 54 along with regimental marking 17IR 1912 in the rear skirt. Overall condition is very good, with great condition leather and fittings. The leather finish has some checking, typical for a helmet of this age. A very impressive display piece.
