I am venturing out from steel helmets and am looking at buying my first pickelhaube.

I have the opportunity to buy a Bavarian officers haube with the cloth field cover and the carrying box.

I sort of have an idea what the helmet is worth, but how much extra should I pay for the cover and box?

Thanks.

Anybody? Buehler? Anybody?

Sorry cant help you but I will try and find out. But first you want to know if its legit do you have any pics Pete

My guess: if all (helmet, cover, & leather carry box) is in excellent original condition > price would be $3,000. plus.

Hi,

So sorry for the late reply, Rob is right, a MATCHING haube with cover and box could be very expensive, do you have any pics?

I bought it. It is legit, but I haven't taken any pics yet. I will try to snap some this weekend if there is decent light.

We look forward to seeing it!
Cheers!

Rob

Yes, it has taken me months to post pics, but here is my first and only haube.

Sorry, the pictures aren't better. Maybe bright sunlight was a poor choice.

Hi,

Thats a very very nice Bavarian officer haube! Very very nice. and it comes with macthing uberzuga and the carrying case, very impressive.

And what you have there is the older version of the bavarian haube, its the pre 1896, these older bavarian haubes have larger and more detailed wappen plate, exactly like mine, i will try to post mine.

Is the chinscales flat? If yes, its most likely an infantry rgt, and pls post more detailed pics of yr marvelous haube.

is the spike removable?

Very impressive,

Congratulations on a very fine purchase. I have only one haube..... I just wish that was it! Great find.
