Original and Complete WW1 Pickelhaube ?

[fpicoli]

Hi,

I would appreciate some help on this Pickelhaube.
- Is it all original ? (The chinstrap looks strange)
- Which period of production?
- Bavarian?
- Is it complete?

Regards,

Fábio

Hello,

You have a Bavarian enlisted man's "Eigetumsstück" (private purchase) helmet.

I can' t tell for sure from your photos, but the chinstrap looks like it might be original.

Here's a link to a thread I started with a similar helmet: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=708195

Best Regards,

Hello.

Nice helmet. It's not for an enlisted man but for an "unteroffizier" (reich cockade with a added ring).

Best regards

You have a nice private purchase pickelhaube for a Bavarian Unteroffizier. It's a model 1896 for foot troops (Infantry).
I see nothing wrong with the chinstrap.
