Prussian 1869 Pickelhaube, Hanoverian Infantry Regiment No. 74

A scarce early model Pickelhaube worn during the Franco-Prussian War, presented in good overall condition. The rear peak is unit-stamped ‘J.R.74 FB’ (Fusilier Battalion). Features the large early Prussian eagle front plate in brass, with matching brass chin scales secured by steel screw bolts. Retains its rare original painted wooden cockade. The black leather nine-tongued liner remains complete with its original drawstring. Helmet fittings appear to have been lightly cleaned.
