ORIGINAL WW1 GERMAN 61ST REGIMENT PICKELHAUBE HELMET WITH ORIGINAL UBERZUG

VERY RARE TO FIND PRUSSIAN PICKELHAUBE STILL WITH ITS CLOTH UBERZUG. ALTHOUGH ALL FRONT LINE INFANTRY WORE THE UBERZUG OVER THE PICKELHAUBE FOR CAMOUFLAGE, VERY FEW SURVIVE TODAY, THESE HELMETS WHEN BROUGHT HOME BY ALLIED SOLDIERS USUALLY HAD THE COVER TAKEN OFF, BUT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THROWN AWAY, THE HELMETS MORE IMPRESSIVE TO LOOK AT WITHOUT THE COVER. STANDARD M-1915 PRUSSIAN PICKELHAUBE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL COMPLETE WITH CHIN STRAP AND BOTH COCKADES. GOOD LINER WITH NO LEATHER LOSS OR TEARS.

VENT HOLE TO THE BACK. THE SPIKE COVER WITH LEATHER LINING.

CLEARLY IT HAS ALWAYS SAT ON THIS HELMET. AS PER 1915 REGULATIONS, THE REGIMENT NUMBER IN GREEN. 61 FOR THE 61ST (8TH POMERANIAN) INFANTRY REGIMENT, THE VON DER MARWITZ.
