Title Baden other ranks picklehaube plate, model 1896
Nationality German
Period c 1896-1918
Price £95.00

The Duchy of Baden was one of the minor German states to survive intact the Vienna Conference of 1814 and on into the second Reich under Wilhelm II. This is the last pattern plate for the Baden picklehaube, worn throughout WW1.

It has been flattened somewhat to mount on a board and the edges have been curled back a little here and there, but essentially the piece is in good shape without any cracks or splits. The reverse has some age patination of the type you normally associate with gilding metal.

Very great item and I'm very pleased with it. The bayonet arrived without any problem. Thank you.

Found the item a little on the expensive side and a bit disappointed that you were unwilling to bend a bit on the price of the Officer's Tunic Eagle (half the fun of buying, after all, is the haggling), but impressed by the speed of delivery and the quality of the item. Was well worth it in the long run...
