German WWI Imperial Prussian Pickelhaube Spiked Helmet | Brass Eagle Plate | Original Liner

An iconic German Imperial Prussian Pickelhaube, the famous spiked leather helmet worn by German and Prussian military forces during the First World War era.

Few pieces of military headgear are as immediately recognizable as the Pickelhaube. This example features the classic dark leather helmet body, prominent metal spike, and impressive brass or gilt Prussian eagle front plate incorporating the royal cipher and traditional Imperial symbolism.

Most importantly for collectors, the helmet retains its complete original interior liner, an increasingly desirable feature on surviving examples more than a century old.

The Pickelhaube became one of the defining visual symbols of the Imperial German Army and remains one of the most popular entry points for collectors interested in World War I, Imperial Germany, and early 20th-century European military history.

Whether this is your first Imperial German helmet or an addition to an established collection, it is a piece that needs very little explanation when placed on display.
