GERMAN WWI BADEN ENLISTED MANS PICKELHAUBE

In nice condition, very large size, stamped size ‘58 ’, all-leather pickelhaube for an enlisted man in a Baden Infantry Regiment. Good, strong leather skull with both peaks securely attached to the main body; some creasing to the front and rear peaks. All of the fittings are in field grey, which include the back strap, removable spike, circular spike base ( one field grey fixing stud missing from the circular spike base), large Baden gryphon-style plate, front peak trim and buckle fittings. The helmet is fitted with its correct national and Baden State cockades. Unusually, no kinks to the interior of the front peak trim, complete with its 10-tongued liner, which is all intact, some splits to the points of the tongues. The helmet is clearly marked ‘58’ to the inside in two places. Correctly army group marked ‘B.A.XIV’ (Army Group 14) with the date ‘1916’. The helmet is also size-stamped ‘58’ on the interior of the rear peak.
