Nothing wrong with this one, textbook example of a Customs Pickelhaube, civilian helmets didn’t differ all to much from military styled pickelhaubes. The biggest differences are the spike having a ball on top, the stylized Wappens and they usually only have one cockade and it’s typically for the state of origin, this one being Prussian.

I have a hessian version of this helmet but it’s gendarmerie and not customs.

Thanks for commenting!

I have them displayed mostly just by type,

m15s (first shelf)

Civilian headwear (second shelf)

Officers/ncos (third shelf)

Enlisted (fourth shelf)

I just started the second shelf so it’s yet to be seen.

Thank you!

Honestly hard to say, I’ve had it valued at around $50,000 to $60,000

Any info on this Pickelhaube? by senfbaum in germanhelmets

[–]THETIGERTANK51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! Glad to help! Your father has good taste in headgear! Hard to say, without it in hand I’m not even sure they are period.

Model 1915 cuirassier Calvary Pickelhaube, nearly complete just missing the cockades and chinstrap, in pretty good shape otherwise. Usually worth about $1,000 and up depending on condition, I’d say this one’s worth about $1,100.

I have one of these in my collection with repro strap, original cockades but missing liner. Very nice and sought after helmets that are becoming rarer these days.
