WW1 German Prussian Officers Pickelhaube

A stunning WW1 Prussian officers pickelhaube with immaculate gilted metal officers fitments & perfectly intact scaled chinstrap.
This textbook example private purchase Pickelhaube has all of the standard high quality officer features that one would expect to see on such an example. Its front Prussian plate is still firmly affixed with all of the gilt finish remaining to its entirety. The distinctive tall spike & pearled neck ring is detachable & affixes to an undisturbed spike base mount with all of its stars still present. Front & rear peaks are intact & firm with no loose stitching at all.
Underside of the helmet displays the green lined front peak & red lined rear peak as well as officers calf skin headband & silk skull all beautifully intact. There is an folded piece of German newspaper under the silk which I have not removed to examine however I believe it has been there for a very long time. Both cockades are of the officer pattern.
A superb piece typifying the Prussian officer in the early WW1 period.
