Title Prussian NCO's pickelhaube cockade
Nationality German
Period c 1914
Price £0.00
Sold

The pickelhaube was the Prussian leather helmet introduced in 1842 and the cockade was worn on the right hand side of the helmet, with the national cockade in red, white and black on the left. These cockades were worn right up to the demise of the pickelhaube in about 1916, when the steel helmet replaced it.

It is a die-struck piece of pressed steel, painted black all over and then with white in the groove. Some of the white has chipped off over the years and there is some wear to the black paint also. However, it is undoubtedly an original piece and measures approximately 5.2 cm across.

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.
