WW1 German One Piece Ersatz Pickelhaube Of Prussia In Tin

A WW1 German Ersatz pickelhaube of Prussia in rare one piece pressed tin configuration with brass front plate & fitted spike .
Many variations of the Ersatz pickelhaube can be encountered this being the so called 'one piece' version with spike mount integral to the rest of the helmet. Both national & state cockades are present & in good order with chinstrap having brass buckles correct for this late 1914 early 1915 piece. Internally the liner leather is intact. A floating cork band sits between the liner & shell for added comfort .
Helmet shows wear with couple of minor scuffs in places but overall good. Chinstrap is totally original to the helmet & has matching brass buckles. When one lifts the leather liner tongues the numeral '5' can be seen etched into the dome.
