Hi Collectsmedal,

Thats an awesome and pristine M15 Prussian pickelhaube you have there!

The liner is simply awesome, thats a killer liner! The helmet itself looks very smooth and very little crazing. Thats somethin very rare for a 90 plus years helmet. You dont get haubes in that condition often.

It looks almost unisued, could this be one of those helmets came from a clothing depot which was ransacked by the Allies?

Could you pls post a detailed pics on the round maker's mark, pls? It seems that there is a 1916 mark, too.

Thank you so much for sharing this superb condition M15 haube, thats simply a killer haube.

Cheers,
Mush

I concur with Mush ,what an outstanding helmet in superior condition its amazing it hasnt shrunk or lost any of its parts in the last 90 years .Rob.

And funnily enough its the same model as Rock on Jons and my recent spike .Rob.

Never have i seen a 'haube in this good a condition both inside and out. It certainly is a head turner!! Mark.

Very nice!! Ya theres a number of these 'smaller' ones coming out that were never worn I believe as they were too small. I got mine from Mr. Joey on the board where did you get yours?? Oh I dunno if you plan to display it as such but it is not good at all to let these rest on their front and back 'flaps', this will eventually tear the stitching as they are very old. Here is mine for comparison. ROCK ON Jon

Thanks for all the kind comments.

It is a very small size, so Jon may be right about its not being issued for that reason.

I picked it up for $50 at a flea market about 10 years ago.

I do not store it sitting on its edges, its kept in a box for now properly padded. Once I get my display room finished I will be sure to mount it correctly, that for that tip.

When I get a chance in the next few days I will take some better pictures of the liner markings.
