WWI Original Prussian Ersatz Pressed Felt Spike Helmet

WWI Prussian Ersatz Spike Helmet in Excellent Condition. Prussian Eagle shows traces of gilt, as does the spike. This helmet is for an enlisted infantryman. The leather chin strap is complete and supple with no flaking or drying.

There is some paint loss to the left rosette. The brass visor edge on the bill of the pickelhaube is tight and without dents. There is a minor split in the felt on the right side where the visor edge meets the body of the helmet. Does not detract, only mentioned to be thorough. Can be seen in photo. Leather lining is complete and has draw string. Starting price is very reasonable for this desirable and hard to find piece of WWI history.
