Original Imperial German WWI Prussian Infantry Officer Model 1897 Pickelhaube Helmet U.S. Flags The scabbard is completely straightOriginal Item: Only One Available. Overall good condition to this officers spike helmet from a Prussian Infantry Regiment, most likely used during the Great War. The Pickelhaube of commissioned officers holding a rank from Lieutenant to Colonel are all identical in features, but not in quality. Quality of helmets within these ranks depended entirely on how much the individual wanted to spend. A lowly Lieutenant's helmet may be of much higher quality
