Stunning Pickelhaube.
It would be near impossible to upgrade that one.
I have always preferred silver hardware.

I have always preferred silver hardware. My dream haube is
a Bavarian officers with a scaled chinstrap and fluted spike--all in silver.
Thanks Gents. I'm enamored with the German Silver examples as well. The Vulcan Fiber shell really has stood the test of time hence why it looks so new. The leather bits on this example are still soft and flexible. Surprising after it being 126 years and 1 month old! LoL
I like the Bavarians with their fluted spikes as well. Maybe one day. Next up I will be searching for an Artillery / Kugel or a steel Jager/Kurassier with scalloped back.

Tough one to see as it isn't stamped in properly!

Brilliant, stunning piece Michael!
I'd propose that "117" is a roster number, not a unit. Either that of the soldier or a property book number of the theater costumer.

Thanks Todd. Lucky I got it. Seller is a fine gentleman.
Been having lots of discussions on the 117 and the consensus is that it is not a regiment or division (there was a 117 Hessian regiment and a 117 Silesia Division but neither were remotely associated to the 23rd Division. The theater angle was discussed too, especially given the "Thespias" name. But was is leaning me away from this is the ink and style of writing. The ink color is actually grey and looks like iron gall ink and the style of writing appears to me to be Germanic. Neither of which I would expect to see from theater costumer supplier....unless of course it was a costume supplier from the very early 1900's.
A roster number sounds interesting but would that be put on a private purchase officers helmet?
I don't think we will ever solve this problem.
