I would say you got the deal of the year, alittle bit of tender love and care and this one will spiff up really nice!

[ricardo1984]

wooow thats nice to hear! thanks guys!!what would be the value of this one? and in the helmet is 13 scratched,a regiment or something?

With some tending and care to the leather and the metal, i'm thinking around 600-700$ maybe. I might be wrong though.
Thanks

From what I have seen on websites and at shows I would say about 400 as it stands, 600 if its fixed up and looking pretty, even more if it was named and had clear unit markings and dates et etc, these are the most common and affordable Pickelhaubs around for us budget minded collectors.
Here is mine on display.

Excellent display maximus with a little bit of clean up ricardo that spike helmet you have could look real nice all depends on what you want if you are a collector who leaving things as is that is up to you looks good regardless

Excellent helmet! The original leather chinstrap is worth a couple of hundred just by itself!
