M-1895 Prussian Pioneer Battalion Officer's Pickelhaube. The pickelhaube is approx. size 52 and is made of black lacquered leather, with silver frosted fittings.

The spike is the earlier, lower profile type of the 1890s, and the spike, spike base, pear ring, front visor trim, rear spine, and rosettes are all silver washed. The chinscales are complete with the leather tongue, and buckle. The helmet also is complete with an officer's style Prussian kokarden, however there is no Reichs kokarde, which places this helmet between 1895 and 1897.
