Hello,
after my officer M/1871 now I got the helmet I was actually searching, a M/1867 enlisted man Pickelhaube.
Great condition, but obviously modified after 1871, as the Linienadler Wappen is attached with threaded bolts instead of the sliders.
One of the bolts of the Wappen is broken so You can see the hole from the inside which appears to me as enlarged. The other bolt is fixed with double washers and the usual square nut.
That doesn't bother me as one cannot see the modification from the outside.
Cheers,
Steve
