WW1 German Pickelhaube of Prussia

A textbook early war Prussian infantry pickelhaube coming complete & untouched with its original chinstrap & cockades.
The undamaged front Prussian plate is firmly secured to the leather body of the helmet with both fixing holes remaining totally undisturbed with their brass ring surrounds. Helmet surface has minor age with some scuffs in places. All of the brass mountings are firm . Spike is non removeable. Both the national & Prussian state cockade are present & original to the helmet. All stitching to front & rear peak is firm , small split to front brass edging as is typical. Chinstrap has brass buckles & side mounts & is in surprisingly excellent condition. Slight oxidisation to one buckle. Black leather liner is very good with all tongues & their tips intact. Rear peak bears some largely illegible black ink marking with grade stamp 'III' & the date '1908'.
Overall good example of the early war Prussian infantrymans pickelhaube.
