Customs Official Officer ' S Pickelhaube In Very
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:72412 |
Offered is a very nice original Imperial German Customs Official Officer's Pickelhaube Helmet. Please take time to "Supersize" the Photos in order to see Details of Helmet.
Black finish on exterior of the helmet is in excellent condition as seen in photos.
Helmet is named to the Customs Official Officer as seen in photo of interior front of helmet.
The chinscale set is missing the fastener post on one end of the chinscale set. The chinscales two separate sides are curr...ently being held together with a screwpost enameled lapel pin. The buckle end of the leather strap has broken off, but the buckle is still attached to the male end side of the strap. The leather size adjustment chinstraps coming out of the ends of the chinscale sides are fragile. Mentioned for accuracy/full disclosure. The backside leather on the back of both chinscale sides is in very good, sound condition.
The silk liner shows age, wear and some separation to it which is typical. The silk liner is also detached from the original stitching to the calfskin sweatband in the front/forehead area of the liner. I have it nicely tucked under the calfskin sweatband in that area, and it looks absolutely fine. I mention this for accuracy of description. The calfskin sweatband is in good condition with no rips or tears to it.
Visors are firmly attached to the helmet.
Helmet has the correct single National Kokarde on the helmet wearer's right side. NO State Kokarde was worn with this type of helmet. It is correct to only have a Red/Silver/Black National Kokarde on this helmet.
100% Satisfaction, or a Full Refund.
Postage in USA: $18.00 via Priority Mail w/tracking.
Postage to Canada: 38.00 via 1st Class International Package.
Postage to UK, Belgium, France, Germany: $55.00 via 1st Class International Package.

Thank you and good luck bidding. Alan
