the ball spike is artillery will fit also the short spike the long one is officers
The markings on the underside of the visor read: "F A R 44" which would mean
Field Artillery Regiment 44.
Field Artillery Regiments used the ball top spike.
As forum member timpe_be has previously said, Foot Artillery Regiments normally are marked "Fs A R" followed by the regiment number.
Best Regards,
Alan

More of his stuff….
I know it's a little off the topic of helmets, but here are a couple pics of his blade souvenirs.
How come these started out as Argentine and then had the references removed? Did the Germans make these to sell to Argentina and then didn't, using them for themselves? - That's all I can figure.
Then the two bayos, both 1916 dated.
