November Exceptional Estates Auction
Lot 255:
Description
Late 19th to early 20th-century German fireman’s helmet, featuring a black-finished leather or composite body with decorative brass comb, front badge, and trim.

Retains original leather chinstrap with brass rosettes, as well as partial inner liner and sweatband. The form mimics a military Pickelhaube but is a civilian issue used by structured fire brigades in Imperial Germany. TAGS: Imperial German civic helmet, vintage firefighter gear, German fire brigade, antique leather helmet, Prussian style headgear. This item can be shipped in-house. Multiple lot combined shipping may require 3rd Party shipping.
