WAPPEN – PRUSSIA – FOR PICKELHAUBE – ENLISTED MAN/NCO – INFANTERIE/ARTILLERIE REGIMENT – M-1915
SKU: 04-599$225.00
This is a fine enlisted man/NCO’s M-1915 wappen. It was used on a Prussian Infanterie or Artillerie Regiment’s pickelhaube or kugelhelm. [Please note the wappen’s wartime subdued gray exterior instead of the prewar brass. It provided a soldier more protection from enemy snipers than did shiny, sunlight-reflecting brass. A further aid against foul weather and sniper fire was a protective canvas cover. Soldiers who served in Artillerie Regiments (kept to the rear) were not in as much danger from snipers as were Infanterie soldiers in the front trenches]. The wappen displays a closed crown, which confirms its non officers’ status. The screw posts are not present. It is a very fine example.

COVER – KUGELHELM – CANVAS
SKU: 33-78$350.00
This is a superior-quality, beautifully-conditioned, canvas protective kugelhelm cover (Artillerie-Regiment). The canvas covers were used before the war to protect the helmets from bad weather when they were exposed in the field. During WW I they served the same purpose. They also prevented the sun from glinting off brass wappens and fittings to expose their wearers to the enemy’s unwanted attention. [We all know a leather pickelhaube was no protection against a sniper’s gunfire ]! Shortly after the war began, troops in the field also started using a “subdued” (painted gray) wappen. The canvas covers continued in use until the M-16 stahlhelme were introduced. As this was for a kugelhelm rather than a pickelhaube, a shorter extension was used at the top and an area of a greater diameter was provided. The example is in very fine condition.

STORAGE CASE FOR PICKELHAUBE – KUGELHELM – SCHIRMÜTZE
SKU: 04-687$995.00
Imperial German Period Storage case that will accommodate an Officer’s Pickelhaube or Kugelhelm and Schirmutze.
Today we are offering a very special officer’s pickelhaube/kugelhelm/schirmütze storage/transport case, quite unlike any Storage Case that we have offered previously.
To safely transport their headdresses, as well as protect them when not being worn, military officers purchased storage cases . Most such cases are conical, looking much like a cylindrical pyramid, instead this case is round. This first section of the Storage Case under is a covered single epaulet box. The first thing one sees when the outer lid is removed, if the box is empty, is the epaulet box raised on a platform, making it . Although when it is in full transport mode the schirmütze would be placed over the “epaulet” box.
The Storage Case is rather unusual as this internal storage box can contain only ONE epaulet. One would have to store its mate on the upper deck or in the case’s lower section. To reveal a red cover over the lower storage section, the entire upper deck lifts out (by pulling two ribbons located on either side). The removable cover sports a circular opening in its center to accommodate the helmet’s spike or kugel. This means the helmet can be placed in the lower section WITHOUT necessitating the spike’s or kugel’s being dismounted. Once the helmet and inner contents are packed into place, the top lid is replaced over and strapped down. I should add that all of the leather straps to secure the top to the bottom are in place and very functional.
The Storage Case measures 12” in diameter and stands 15” in height.
This amazing case has many ways to display an officer’s helmet and visor cap not to mention his epaulets.
