Grenadier Regiment 89 Mecklenburg Pickelhaubes It turned out to be a couple that i had met a year and a half earlier, who have a prussian grenadier regiment #4 officer helmet. they asked me if i might still be interested in the helmet, and of course i said "yes".

Grenadier Regiment 1 Pickelhaubes The spikehelmets (pickelhaubes) we offer are made using traditional methods and natural materials such as leather and shellac. because of this, our replicas have the authentic appearance and aroma of the original helmets from a century ago. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any year or regimental marking so this could have belonged to any of the ten prussian grenadier regiments though there is a faint makers stamp. This outstanding officer’s pickelhaube represents the venerable grenadier regiment könig friedrich der große (3. ostpreußisches) nr. 4, one of the most historic infantry formations of the imperial prussian army. the regiment traced its origins to 1626, making it among the oldest active military units in europe, and dur.
