Prussian Model 1894 Pickelhaube of Garde Dragooner Regiment Nr 1 (Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Ireland), fine example for an enlisted ranks with large other ranks pattern helmet plate to the front having white metal garde star burst to the chest. Leather backed domed brass scale chinstraps leading to fixing posts, no cockades present. Squared dip front peak which is standard for Dragoon helmets, other ranks cruciform brass spike cross piece and short spike, rear spine with two fixing pins, again typical for Dragoon helmets. Interior of the helmet retains the original other ranks leather liner. Screw post fittings to the reverse of the plate with brass washers in place. Interior of the shell, behind the plate is deeply struck “LG 15”. Rear peak stamped “56”. Some polishing to the exterior fittings but overall a nice example.
