Up for sale is an original Imperial German Prussian lot. This came from Karl Heppner who was in the Prussian army. Appears to be a 1915 Pickelhaube helmet with a brass wappen, thicker leather shell than the usual thin leather ones you see on wartime models. The steel on the visor has some separation from the leather but is not moving around loose and still secure. The outer leather binding is broken but all the pages and covers are still attached. The spike is removable as photographed.... The owner I obtained it from said it had a smoking pipe and sword but had sold already. The diary has 30 handwritten pages. I was told the sword belt is an Austrian model. This lot was obtained from an estate in Eastern Massachusetts. An excellent original grouping
