Looks like a put together pickelhaube. The spike seems rather high for an enlisted man/nco, among other issues. Not for me.

good Lord! what a mess

[ww1czechlegion]

Yes, it is a mess.

I suspect there may be another set of 4-holes for a round spike base hidden by the larger size cloverleaf spike base and the inner reinforcement plate.

Where's the square-cut visor seen on Bavarian helmets of pre-war nature?

We can all see how the neck of a former spike has been cut off, evidenced by the ventilator holes still partially visible.

It's really been "cobbled-together".

I agree with the above , seems quite obvious as well . Rob

Thanks for the input guys. As a friendly reminder, anyone that sees an object on the estand that they feel needs discussed can start a thread in the appropriate forum and place a link to the discussion in the sales thread.

Sorry but it's true... It's a Bollox helmet...
