[pikestaff]

hello gentlemen, there's something wrong with this picklehaube, spiked, Bavarian chinscale mounts, Prussian rossette, other ranks stamped steel badge, chinscales joined by a small oval brass buckle. from the few books I have the helmet should have a horse hair plume with bavarian chinscale mounting points?

also, with officers chinscales, should the fron badge be gilded brass? I bougth this items as a restoration project, but need to know whats what with it.

Any help would be most greatfully received.

many thanks

Many thanks to 'tachel' due his prompting I have been trawling the web, came across an advert on ebay showing a repro bavarian police Pickelhaube, I think this wreck I have could very well be a police item, apart from the badge, looks like i will have to look around for a police badge to go with it once its in better shape.

He'll tell you exactly what to do and might even direct you to the parts you require.
