Here is an ORIGINAL WW1 GERMAN OR PRUSSIAN PICKELHAUBE LOBSTER TAIL HELMET WITH DRAGOON EAGLE. Interior plaque is stamped HERM. WEISSENBURGER & CO.. CANNSTATT. There is also the number "56" stamped on tail rim. This helmet is coming out of the same nice Wellesley, MA collector's estate as the Revolutionary War canteen and Civil War compass I sold last week.
I'm not too knowledgeable about old helmets myself. Looks to have it's original leather liner. Old patina to metal surfaces as found. The exterior has an unpolished brass color in the unrusted areas. The spike has a silvery color. Old green and black colors on the interior. There is a dent spot near the top of helmet and another shallow dent line just above the right wing of the front eagle. A third more minor and shallow ding spot on top. Front brim edge with a bit of a dent spot. The spike is removable (see photo). There is a newer-looking shiny small rivet in the same place on either side of the rear ear rim. As you see it.
