I have an old Pickelhaube in my possession, passed down to me by my Great Grandfather. I have always been curious about who would have worn this. It is in disrepair, missing a lot of pieces. Hope someone can help. Any info on it would be appreciated :)
MY Great Grandfather brought this home as a trinket from the war, he fought for the US. Sadly he has passed away so I cannot ask him.
I will make a try.
Missing parts: the ornemental front plate and one cockade. We cannot know the wearer's province.
If the finial is intact, as it is a ball shaped top, it is likely to be an artillery helmet.
