Model 1894 Baden Dragoner Regt Nr. 20
 
Model 1894 Baden Dragoner Mannschaften (Other Ranks) Pickelhaube for 1. Badisches Leib - Dragoner - Regt. Nr. 20, Karlsruhe XIV. Armee-Korps.

As is typical for a Dragoner Pickelhaube, the front visor is square, the spike base is cruciform, the rear spine of the helmet is secured to the helmet shell by two external silver studs, and there is a silver Perlring around the spike neck. These features are found on all Dragoner Mannschaften and NCO Pickelhauben right up to and including the Model 1915.

The helmet is unit marked "LDR20" ( Leib - Dragoner - Regt. Nr. 20) and dated "1895, 1896" on the rear visor.
 
All issued Dragoner helmets have the rear spine secured to the helmet shell by two external brass or silver studs.
As all Dragoner Regiments were entitled to wear a helmet Trichter and Haarbusch (parade plume) on parade, the spike top is removable to enable a Trichter to be mounted. The ball-pattern Perlring was worn by all enlisted personnel and does not indicate an NCO.
