More about the Pickelhaube : The Pickelhaube was originally designed in 1842 by King Frederick William IV of Prussia and it was introduced for use by the majority of Prussian infantry on October 23, 1842 by a royal cabinet order. The use of the Pickelhaube spread rapidly to other German principalities. Oldenburg adopted it by 1849, Baden by 1870 and in 1887, the Kingdom of Bavaria was the last German state to adopt the Pickelhaube . During the second half of the nineteenth century, the armies of a number of nations adopted the Pickelhaube or at least something very similar. The Pickelhaube has also influenced the design of the British army Home Service helmet, as well as the custodian helmet worn by police in England to this day General Information and Our Sales Policies for eBay Auctions Every attempt is made to ensure an accurate and complete item description.
