Description
Reproduction of the 19th/20th Century Prussian Cuirassier Pickelhaube, in silver-coloured metal.
All the metal versions of the Pickelhaube were worn mainly by Cuirassiers (cavalry) but were popular with high-ranking officers as well often being seen worn by them in official pictures/portraits. These were often referred to as Lobster-tail helmets by allied forces due to the distinctive shape of the rear neck guard.
This silver-type version is that worn by Cuirassiers of the line since 1842.
These will fit head sizes 57-59cm.
These helmets are all individually handmade and have an individual craftsmans finish rather than a mass-produced machined made feel and look.
Please note: these helmets have visible internal scratches and poor paintwork (shown in image 6) hence the lower price.
