But this star is on a Kgl.Sächs. Karabiner-Regiment (2.Schweres Regiment) Metalhelm and the city in the East was Dresden.
For the first Pickelhaube showing of 2018, lets start the New Year off with a killer.
This helmet came as a complete surprise offer to me in 2017. I never thought I would have an issued Saxon Heavy Cavalry metal helmet, as they are horrifically expensive and more or less impossible to find even if you wanted one.
I know many prefer these with the parade lion, but I prefer Pickelhauben in their combat configuration with the spike mounted. And this example has a magnificent tall spike. So this helmet for me, could not get any better.
Here is the link to the standard write-up and more photos.

This beautiful Metalhelm was obtained in 1980 by a distinguished collector in Quebec Canada, who owned it for 37 years. Now I have the privilege to care for it.
