So it was a M95 Prussian helmet but then converted during WWI to a Bavarian?

Thanks, I already want more!

The chinstrap is a reproduction but the rest of the helmet is original as far as I know. The shell is blacked out.

Finally bought my first pickelhaube. I’ve been wanting one for a long time and been doing lots of looking around, I managed to get a good deal on this helmet and bought it. It’s now on display with my small German collection. I noticed there seems to be extra set of holes, what kind of wappen do...

Thank you, would you say it’s worth it in that condition?

https://ebay.us/m/GNMMWd Hey I was wondering if this pickelhaube was original. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey I was wondering what you guys could tell me about these helmets, I know some parts are reproductions.

Thanks, I’ll definitely keep that one in mind

Thanks Tony, I’m going to keep looking around a bit but I’ll keep those in mind too.

Thanks for the response, I couldn’t find the wappen. Would you mind adding a link to them?

Hey, I’m looking for my first pickelhaube. I’m looking for a M95. If anyone has any available that would be great. I’d also be interested in buying wappen, preferably Bavaria, Hessen, baden or württemberg.

I speak some French but I’m not sure I could understand books like that as my vocabulary is limited, as I learn more I will try to pick up some books. I also plan on learning German as it is more useful for the topics I usually research. If you find any other English books that are reputable...

Yes, I just want a decent one to start and then expand my collection from there

Thank you for the link I was looking at the Bavarian one by accident. I’ll definitely try to purchase that, thank you for all the help

Thank you
