Ersatz Model 1915 Preußen
Field Artillery
 
Ersatz felt Model 1915 Preußen Feld Artillerie Mannschaften (Other Ranks) Pickelhaube.
The helmet was manufactured as a Model 1915 with Feldgrau steel fittings with a rear spine. Although this helmet does not have a front visor trim, it is made from the thick, heavy pattern of felt which makes it quite sturdy. As on all Model 1915 helmets, the ball top is removable.

The liner on this example is manufactured from a thick leather similar to a pre-war helmet.

Note how well it has retained its shape due to the thick felt.
