Looks like a very nice piece. Do you have access to the Baldwin Feldzug series of books on Imperial German Militaria. Michael Baldwin had perhaps the best collection of Imperial German militaria I have ever seen. There are 4 volts in the series with 1 and 2 showing lots of Haubes. If I can remember I’ll have a look tomorrow and see what I can find.

That would be really awesome!
As I said I'm really loockig for another piece to compare with. I'm at least not really sure, wheather this is the first pattern or just a sample item.
You would do me a real favour, if you could have a look!

Hi FW, unfortunately nothing in my books however you may find more information over on the Kaisers Bunker website: Index Dunkelblau helmets
Bonhams auctions also has one that you can compare with: Bonhams : An Imperial German Pickelhaube Of An Officer In The 3rd Battalion 92nd (Brunswick) Infantry Regiment
Appears to be quite a rare and desirable piece.
Well done,
Andy

First time that I've seen the larger earlier style skull on one of these, other than in the photo in the Stubbs book which I also have.
The excellent book "Deutsche Offiziershelme aus der Kaiserzeit 1870-1918" Band 1, by Joachim Hilsenbeck, and printed by Steinach-Verlag, pages 123, 124, and 125 shows the later style skull.
Here's a link to more information on the later style skull: The last helmet of 2009, and it is a good one..... get ready - PickelHaubes.com
Best Regards,

I know when Ralph mentioned "Robin Lumsden"
In my head I was thinking, Alan's going to love this one also!!
I'm glad you got to chime in.

Unfortunately I am not able to registrate on pickelhaubes.com. I don't receive any answers from the admins. Woud really liked to have shown this helmet there to.
Can anyody help me getting in contact with them?

I just ran across this helmet on another forum and Tony from
"Kaiser's Bunker" did not like it at all. I know very little about
pickelhaubes but Tony is considered one of the experts.
