Imperial Saxon Ahnhalt Officer's Helmet (Item KHELMET 1-1)

DESCRIPTION:This Pickelhaube is a truly rare one from the smallest of the German states, Saxony Ahnalt. This is considered to be one of the rarest of all Imperial German helmets for infantry line officers. The body of this helmet is in very fine condition. The Kokarden are right and original. The gilding on the eagle is super fine. The gold plating on the spike and base is near mint. The silk liner is gone, but the leather sweatband is in fine shape. There is a size written inside-58 ½. The visors are intact and not loosened up at all. The lip of the front visor constructed in brass has come a bit loose from the leather and can easily be put back by widening the slit a little bit. The helmet leans to the side a little because of the storage box that the vet had put it into where it was pressed a bit by a dragoon helmet in metal that shared its space for over 30 years. The Ahnalt Crest is in very good condition and its crown is with open work as it should be. They don't come much better than this one. Don't miss it!

PRICE: SOLD

Imperial German Pickelhaube, Spike Helmet (Prussian Customs) (Item KHELMET 1-2)

DESCRIPTION:This is possible one of the most beautiful of spike-top helmet of the Kaiser Reich. This would be a Kaiserliche customs helmet. This looks like a military helmet in every way except for the small ball on top of the fluted spike and the Kaiser's cipher on the breast of the eagle. The silk part of the liner of this helmet is long gone, but the remaining leather is fine. One of the brass scales is loose, but holding! The usual minute cracking is hardly visible on the body. The gilding on this eagle plate is great and what can we say-this is a right gorgeous helmet and a fine relic of better time in Die Deutsche Vaterland

PRICE: SOLD

Prussian Enlisted Man's WWI Pickelhaube, Spike Helmet (Item KHELMET 1-3)

DESCRIPTION:This helmet is just an honest WWI spike in fair condition, maybe a little better than that. Has all original parts. Most of other parts of the helmet's exterior are in really good shape. Contains all original parts and the body (the part that really counts) is in super excellent condition-no tears, dents, ripples. Just shiny black leather, very nice. Some wear on the leather under the Kokarde on each side. This is very normal and is usually expected, but for a good-shape, honest WWI helmet. Here it is!

PRICE:  SOLD

Imperial Baden Pickelhaube (Item KHELMET 1-4)

DESCRIPTION:This is a wartime spike helmet from the German state of Baden. Black leather body. The fittings are pewter (gray metal) pattern of 1915. This helmet is in high-mint condition The chin strap looks like a replacement, but considering the condition of the rest of this marvelous helmet it just may be original. The body is unscathed, no cracks, no ripples, just extra fine. The condition of the liner is extraordinary! Please do not ask size. They are all small as any real collector can verify. This helmet has the proper national colors and the Baden colors on the Kokarde at the sides. This is probably the best condition "spiker" we have seen in many years. As a matter of fact, we have never seen one better. The best!

Imperial Prussian Uhlan Tschapka in Felt (Item KHELMET 1-5)

DESCRIPTION:This is a wartime Prussian line enlisted man's tschapka (helmet). The Uhlans were light cavalry and drew enlistment from the nobility and landed gentry in many cases. They were definitely the elite of the horse soldiers. Earlier examples were quite beautiful, but as the war went on and leather was in short supply, a helmet appeared in felt material a with metal support frame. The are quite scarce today and the felt one even more rare. This is a very nice example in beautiful probably unused condition; however, this helmet came out of a group that was brought back by a veteran who stacked abut seven Imperial helmets up in his closet for about 30 or more years, thus the rabatte that holds the mortarboard is pushed down a bit, but when the helmet would be put on a head, figure it will be pushed up and look fine. It probably will snap back to its original position after awhile. In any case, this malady does not detract from the overall "jaunty, rakish look." The parts are all original and the condition is almost mint except for that minor problem of the rabatte.

PRICE:  SOLD

German Imperial Pickelhaube Prussian-style Helmet (Item KHELMET 1-6)

DESCRIPTION:This is the standard helmet for an enlisted man. It needs some work. We don't apologize for this little relic because it is honest and in generally good condition OTHER THAN the liner, which is usual with these items that are almost a hundred years old. The thread that held the front and rear visors is gone! gone! gone! Completely in front and half in the rear. The good news is the helmet is not all coming apart in the skin! It has almost a mirror finish. A patient collector or dealer could sit down and stitch the visors back securely as the holes are big and it could be accomplished. The national colors on one side are repainted and they should have used black and white (Prussia), but they used the national colors. Oh well! Again, this helmet with very little work can be a fine display item. Again, we offer a special price to indulge the would-be helmet handyman.

PRICE:  SOLD

WWI Stalhelm in Camouflage (Item KHELMET 1-7)

DESCRIPTION:Here is a good, honest steel helmet of the WWI period of warfare. This is in the original camouflage mode and is in good condition, except no line and no chinstrap. It has the machine-gun lugs, but the back liner retainer is gone. OK. So it's missing a bit, but I know some of you collectors/dealers out there have parts. This would be one worth restoring because of the very nice original camouflage treatment.

PRICE:  SOLD

WWI Helmet Cover (Item KHELMET 1-8)

DESCRIPTION:This is an original helmet cover for the Pickelhaube of WWI. It has the reinforced edge lips for the purpose of clutching to the visors of the helmet. These edge lips are filled with leather. One of the lips is marked "DRP" (Deutsches Reich Patent ?) Very nice condition. We picture it on a helmet, but we offer only the cover. See helmets in other part of this section of Germania.

PRICE: $250.00

FRENCH (HALVED) HELMET--FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR (Item KHELMET 1-9)

DESCRIPTION: This is an unusual war souvenir from the collection of a German soldier (his own battlefield pick-up). This French Cuirassier's helmet was actually sawed in half to make into a wall display to show both sides. We have occasioned onto this before where the German soldier did this to his own field helmet. It makes for a very interesting display. It's a shame in a way that a valuable helmet is destroyed, but you have to appreciate this unusual custom employed by the returned front-line combatant. This is historically very interesting.

PRICE: $450.00

 Imperial (Kaiserzeit) Hat Box (Item KHELMET 1-13)

DESCRIPTION: Here is a very unusual, but interesting Imperial item. It is a packaging box for a fine hat-collapsible. This was the style in the last of the 1800’s and the turn of the century. These Klapp-hüte were part of every dapper gentleman’s wardrobe. Unfortunately, we have only the box, but it is very nice with the Prussian eagle in its center in gold-embossed grandeur. In the smaller eagle’s chest shield is the “CL” logo of the manufacturer. There are a few nicks and scratches, but remember, this is a cardboard item well made, but well over a hundred years old! It measures 13 x 10 inches wide and 2 inches thick. It is very nice and historically important.

PRICE: $175.00
