Prussian Jaeger zu Pferde Metalhelme Vintage WW1 Prussian Pickelhaube Helmet
This helmet is an early Prussian Jaeger zu Pferde (Mounted Light Infantry) Enlisted Man Field Gray "Lobvstertail" Model 1915. A helmet size 55 is stamped on the rear trim of lobster tail making this a small size helmet. The metal helmet body exterior has what appears to be an excellent blued finish. It has not been re-painted but may have been waxed at some point as there are still small areas with some wax. The shell and trim have some minor condition issues - small dents, surface finish but overall is in excellent shape. The full leather tabbed liner appears to be original and is still in a soft and compliant condition with no pull thrus of the holes (Cord not original). There appears to be a prior Helbing u.

Sackewitz makers stamp under the more distinct one as shown in the pictures. There is no date stamp that I have found but it is in the M1915 style and materials. Field gray JzP Prussian Dragoon style front eagle, nickel plated spike and steel base are all original and in very good condition.

The spike is removable and secure when mounted to the bayonet style mount. There is no leather chin strap or cockades with this item but the mounts are in very good condition.

All construction rivets are present and secure. The helmet is in overall excellent condition and is best shown in the photos. This is an outstanding example for any collection as originals are getting harder to find. I will gladly answer any questions.
