Grey metal rear spine with moveable vent and grey metal front trim. Interior of the helmet has its original but worn leather liner. The rear peak has the remains of the inked regimental stamps “F.A.R 25”. Shell has original grey metal loops behind the plate and leather wedges, however it also has period leather patches over where additional holes were once present, often with early M-15 helmets, when introduced they would be sent back to depots to be re-fitted from brass fittings to the field grey and as such often holes were filled and covered with patches.

State and reichs cockades and leather chinstrap. Fitted to the helmet is an interesting variation of an other ranks field cover with metal hooks and painted in green “126” to the front.

The other side of the rear peak is a deeply impressed regimental stamp for “RJR 217”, we are of the opinion that this stamp has been done at a later point. Two leather patches to the interior by the helmet plate indicating that the helmet is probably a period conversion from brass to field grey mounts. Accompanying the helmet is an original other ranks field cover which has green felt embroidered “R 217” to the front, this is also in our opinion possibly later applied. The interior of the cover has metal hook fittings and inked makers stamp and probably an original ink regimental stamp for “R.J.R 217”. The pickelhaube and cover show a lot of wear overall.
