AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A very fine German spiked helmet (Pickelhaube) found while clearing out a house near Verdun.

A helmet with a particular history. We can see on this one the holes intended for military use as well as for firefighting.
Having been found with military attributes, this means it was originally intended for that use, then switched to firefighter use, and then reverted back to military use.
Which is very uncommon, and in fact a remarkable piece.

During discovery, the pins that held the insignia and the tip were very worn and no longer held, so they were replaced.

The rest of the helmet is very sturdy (boiled leather).
Interior lining and chinstrap present, with marking "44 8" = unit/assignment number.

The main insignia shows a field repair that remains solid.

Don't hesitate to check out this piece of history with an unusual past!

Fast and careful shipping.
