Silver Imperial German/Prussian Cuirassier PICKELHAUBE Helmet:
$50.00

Reproduction of the 19th/20th Century Prussian Cuirassier Pickelhaube, in silver coloured metal. All the metal versions of the Pickelhaube were worn mainly by Cuirassiers (cavalry) but were popular with high ranking officers as well often being seen worn by them in official pictures/portraits.
These were often referred to as Lobster-tail helmets due to the distinctive shape of the rear neck guard. This silver type version is that worn by Cuirassiers of the line since 1842.
These helmets are all individually hand made and have an individual craftsmens finish rather than a mass produced machined made feel and look.
The helmet is constructed from steel and embellished with accents and edging of brass.The top spike is a separate piece which is slotted into place atop the helmet
The chin straps are leather with brass plates and can be removed entirely if needed.
The chin strap can be adjusted to fit with a brass buckle.Leather chinstrap looks to be glued on, and is in fact, detached from the rest of the brass chinstrap. Definitely needs to be fixed.
