Original Imperial German Pre-WWI Fire Brigade Leather Pickelhaube Helmet with Liner and Chinstrap

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a nice fair conditioned, turn of the century Imperial German pickelhaube Fire helmet, made with the standard boiled leather body, with some issues and repairs. It is a single piece design, with additional components added to the main shell.

The helmet is fit all in brass, with no cockades but a retained chinstrap. Both visors are in good shape without much stitching loss though there is some misshaping. The brass top comb retains its fitting. The liner is in very good condition overall.

This looks to be an EM/NCO helmet, as it does not have any of the fancy appointments seen on an officer helmet, and has a plain leather chinstrap and multi-finger leather liner. The chinstrap has some repairs and very heavy cracking and crazing.

This is an unusual and very attractive item. Offered in fair condition. There is no size but it’s roughly a size 56.
