Picked helmeth (Pickelhaube) for a Bavarian cavalry officer. This is an older type headgear than those used in WW1. Beautiful front golden badge with Bavarian kingdom insignia: rampant lions, crown and cartouche with the motto: "In treue fest". Metal chinstrap "shrimp tail" and typical lining for officer's pickelhaube. Inscription on the rear flap. Very good condition.
