Prussian officers pickelhaube for review

[giorgos p]

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a pickelhaube for some time now and found the piece shown in the pictures below. To my untrained eyes and from what I have seen on the forum this an original piece but I am suspicious regarding the cloth cover as well as the box. Looking forward to your opinions.

Hi,

firstly, pickelhaube looks good to me. Honest Prussian officers one.
secondly the box is for a cap not a helmet. They came in leather carry cases.
thirdly cover looks ok but further pictures needed to confirm.

Hope this helps.

cheers

Thanks for your opinion Tony, extremely appreciated. I know that these helemets come with leather cases, so there might be a chance that the box is original? As for the cover I will ask the dealer for more photos. Thank you once again.

Cheers

Hi George,

hat box is original.

Cover is more than likely a good one.

hope that helps.
