Model 1867 Baden Infantry Mannschaften (Other Ranks) Pickelhaube. This helmet is typical of those worn by some of the contingents in the Franco-Preußen war. Like a typical M1867 helmet, is has no rear spine as per the M1867 regulations, but unlike a Preußen M1867 which had a unique slider to retain the Wappen (front plate) Baden did not adopt this system and utilized the standard threaded screw posts.
Please refer to "Spiked Helmet Evolution" under "Reference and Information Pages" on the main index page for details. The helmet is state marked with a branded Baden shield on the rear visor and carries no other markings.
