Rare WW1 German Wurttemburg Felt Ersatz Pickelhaube with Cover.

Fitted to the helmet is an interesting variation of an other ranks field cover with metal hooks.
Excellent rare example of a Wurttemburg infantry ersatz felt rolled edge pickelhaube with its original
cockades & leather chinstrap.

Issued from September 1914 through into the early quarter of 1915 these ersatz helmets were a stopgap
measure to meet the shortfall in demand raised by the sudden increase in troops at the outbreak of war
in 1914. Several variations of the Ersatz helmet exist this grey felt piece having the pre 1915 brass
fittings & non removeable spike. The helmet plate has much of its original gilding remaining with
expected wear to its high points. Both cockades are correct for the helmet with its brass buckled
leather chinstrap 100% original & intact. The black leather liner is intact with a name scratched
into the black underside of the spikes base plate.
