Good example of this relatively rare Prussian helmet. One spike base nut missing and small hole to rear peak, otherwise in excellent shape with two long prongs at back of eagle plate for securing plate to helmet. Complete with original cockade and scale chin straps.

Owner's original name label on linen stitched on to lining (name illegible) and regimental stamps in back peak.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
