WWI Imperial German Württemberg Officer Pickelhaube

The helmet has virtually no age crazing to the leather body. The officer “fish scales” chin strap, the Wurttemberg front plate, the spike, spike base, and rear spine all show a fine, uncleaned, patina. The national colors officer cockade is present on the right side, and the large, Wurttemberg cockade is present on the left side. One chin scale is broken and held together with tape, one scale has been replaced with an incorrect type.  The full leather sweat band is intact, as is the silk lining of the helmet. The helmet shows expected signs of age and wear but remains in excellent condition.
