I'm new to this forum, it is not my field, Imperial Militaria.
I need your opinions to a friend who has found these pickelhaube headger insignia
Original?
how much?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards

At first glance, they appear original, but you have not shown the reverse. These have been reproduced for many years from original dies, so a view of the reverse is the best way to tell if they are good or not. Not all are German.

All of these Wappen are good. One is incomplete. One appears to be something other than a helmet insignia. Four of them are particularly nice. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of current prices for these. If you don't have any idea of the value, I would suggest you put them in an auction and see what happens. I think you will be very happy.

The crowned eagle with the number 96 is a French 2nd Empire (1852-1870) infantry shako plate worth from $100-125 USD.
