Hi,

I am sending a photo of my second pickelhaube in my collection
Again it is a Prussian M15. I am happy that it is marked 87th (Nassau) Infantry Regiment and signed .

I think every Pickelhaube collection has a Prussian Infantry M15 in it at some point. This is a good example. Particularly well marked with a very well preserved interior.

Excellent markings and a very nice M15 in great condition. I notice RBA 18 which in my experience is found on Hessen helmets. Is there an explanation for this?

Brian, IR87 actually also belonged to BA XVIII.

Briane, IR87 ve skutečnosti také patřil k BA XVIII.

Hi, thank you very much for your comments.
I don't know about the R.B.A.18 marking, but I'm sending photos of another Prussian helmet with this marking.

Although earlier in the war, AK XVIII regiment equipment was managed by BAVII, as seen here on an IR88 helmet.

JR168 belonged to XVIII AK, too. And hence depended on RBA XVIII. This is the expected marking.
