Item Details
Description
This is a WW1 era German Spike Lobster tail helmet with a Prussian Eagle plate to the front clutching a scepter and ball with a Prussian heraldic shield to the center. The helmet has a protruding spike surrounded by oak leaves. This helmet bowl is two piece assembled by dovetail and hammered out. The side posts are intricately detailed. The interior had some type of padded liner at one time. The age of the helmet is visible by the layers of chocolate patina. The helmet came from a U.S. WW2 veterans estate grouping. I found similar helmets to it but not this exact one. This interesting helmet is worthy of further research. The helmet measures 9 1/8 inches in height and 8 3/4 inches by 6 7/8 in width.
Condition
This helmet is missing the liner and exhibits wear from age and use, please view photos for condition.
