WW1 German Pickelhaube.

All steel fitting example that's in untouched condition with the leather body with some crazing and storage marks, there does appear to be slight shrinkage. Both front and rear peaks are tightly stitched to the body. The metal fittings have nearly 100% of the grey finish remaining except for the top half of the spike, its a removable example.Rear spine has a ventilation hole and cover. The front Prussian plate is in very nice condition, over the years the plate has left a clear indentation to the surrounding leather. The chinstrap is in nice supple condition. Both side cockades,again, have nearly 100% finish. The inside lining i'm sorry to say has suffered from poor storage, its in fragile condition and lost two tips to the arms and two splits along the side sections. The inside crown has a clear 1915 date and makers mark for the firm Julius Jansen,Strassburg, sorry for the poor quality of the photo but much clearer in hand.The the front is a faint size mark, 56 and a half. The back peak has a Regimental stamp but i just cant make it out.
If you want what i believe is an untouched example with all its period fittings then this might be for you even with the fragile liner. I have not tried to strengthen the leather in any way, i will leave this too the new owner if they wish to try and stabilize it and hey i might just keep this one myself if your not interested and i prefer not to touch things!
Oh i just noticed the front peak has a clear full name of the soldier owner in pencil!
