Pickelhaube

[galizien41]

I always wanted just one example of a pickelhaube to have for an example, nice enlisted and complete. Just wondering if this one checks the boxes?

Price is about 750$- from a dealer friend of mine.

Last one. Any opinions on all being original, etc. would be appreciated.

At that price I think I would wait for a completely original example that has not been messed with. At first glance I can see that the two M91 chinstrap lugs/mounts are different (pic #2). It also appears that the white ring on the Prussian cockade has been repainted, and there are spots of paint on the chinstrap lug and M91 chinstrap fitting. IMO, it would need further examination. If you're only looking for one example and you're willing to step up to the plate with $$$ I would pass on this one.
They're still out there in much better condition around the same price... ask Mike.
