davesmedals Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Hello there, can anyone please tell me anything about this helmet, age & date please? Edited August 20, 2019 by davesmedals
Bayern Posted August 21, 2019 Posted August 21, 2019 A Prussian Infantry pickelhaube for ORs .the scroll reads As prize to the ......Company Royal Swedish Leibregimemt Queen .under the scroll ,the Landwehr Cross normally carried over the chest of the eagle by Reserve units. But... some details dont fits well .
pjac Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I agree with Bayern. I think this is an artificially aged repro of a pickelhaube to fusilier regiment 33 or 34. I don’t know how much an original would cost, but a lot more than a standard Prussian OR pickelhaube.
Bayern Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 pjac You have realized what I wanted to said . surely with intention of raise the price

I suspect it came from the same source as this one, deliberately aged repro, looks convincing though if you're no expert, fortunately this was about the same price as a repro so took an punt on no great financial loss, made in the UK I'm lead to believe
