This is a fine Bavarian Reserve Officer’s pickelhaube from a Chevaulegers or Schweres-Reiter-Regiment. It features an officer’s style wappen…īavarian Pirkelhaube for Reserve Officer in Chevaulegers or Schweres Reiter RGTSKU: 04-752 XKA A All of it is definitely officer’s quality. All of the helmet’s furniture is gilt of the highest quality. It is supple, clean, and quite appealing. Its leather body is in very fine condition. This is a very fine example of a Bavarian One-Year-Volunteer’s Infanterie Regiment Pickelhaube. It is common to see an OYV pickelhaube cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars less than an officer’s helmet from the same regiment. This is why the pickelhaube we are offering today is a real value. The differences were subtle, but with some minor exceptions qualified as officer’s level. They often wore items that were officer’s quality, especially when it came to pickelhauben. As a result, the men were allowed more latitude in their dress items. This included supplying all of their uniforms and personal gear. Men who served as OYV’s did so while paying all of their own expenses. Once they had completed their service, however, they often were promoted to officer status in the reserves. These young men entered their military service under a different program from the regular two-year-conscript who entered the army as an enlisted man. One-Year-Volunteers came from financially well set families. As I have shared with you in the past, a One-Year-Volunteer’s (OYV) uniform and headdress are often one of military collectibles’ biggest values. This is a high-quality pickelhaube for a One-Year-Volunteer serving in a line-infantry-regiment. It is a solid officer’s spiked helmet that is fairly priced.īAVARIA – PICKELHAUBE – ONE-YEAR-VOLUNTEER – INFANTERIE REGIMENTSKU: 04-535 We also see that no double holes appear where the wappen is attached. Under the silk liner is the original hardware. The helmet’s front and rear visors are lined in green and red leather, respectively. A few spots exhibit shredding (what women used to refer to as “runs” in silk stockings). Inside the helmet is a brown leather sweatband. The helmet’s exterior exhibits fine state (Bavarian) and Reich’s kokarden. The chin scales are flat (non vaulted), which confirms that it is an Infanterie helmet. It absolutely glistens (NOT from cleaning)! The removable spike is fluted. Please pay particular attention to the wappen’s splendid appearance. All of the furniture is gilt, including the wappen, cruciform, chin scales, spike, etc. A mild case of shrinkage affects the left rear quarter, and some settling shows at the crown where the cruciform are attached. The helmet’s leather body is generally pleasing, with no major flaws or issues.
