Pickelhaube Garde Landwehr

[brusik]

Good day,

I have a spiked helmet and can not determine the Pickelhaube
I want to ask you if everything is with the Pickelhaube okay?
should the parts be in silver?
Thank you

When the fittings (inclusing the rosettes of the chinscales) are all silver, when the Landwehr cross, the chinscales and the stars of the spike base are gold, it's a Garde Landwehr Pionier Kompanie.
Here's a picture of my helmet, but it's for a Fahrich and has stud retainers instead of stars for the spike base...
Hope this helps you out...
