FAQs

Designed in the 19th century, the Pickelhaube was a spiked leather helmet worn by Prussian and German military, police, and firefighters. It served as official dress headgear for German Imperial forces prior to and during the early years of the First World War.

Authentic officer helmets were crafted primarily from boiled black leather, hardened to form a rigid shell. They featured decorative metal fittings, including brass or silver-plated front plates, chinscales, and a prominent central spike.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise handcraftsmanship, period-correct maker stamps, thick leather construction, and properly fitted brass or silver heraldic badges. Reproduction helmets often display incorrect proportions, lightweight modern metals, and synthetic lining materials.

A Pickelhaube works well as a sculptural focal piece in a library, study, or curated display cabinet. Placed on a custom wooden stand on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece, it provides a structured historical accent.

Keep the helmet away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid applying abrasive polishes to the brass fittings to preserve the aged surface tone.
