		The Pickelhaube (plural Pickelhauben; from the German Pickel = "point" or "pickaxe", and Haube = "bonnet", a general word for headgear) was a spiked helmet worn in the 19th and 20th century by German military, firefighters, and police.
		The basic Pickelhaube was made of hardened (boiled) leather, given a glossy-fl finish, and reinforced with metal trim (usually plated with gold or silver for officers) that included a metal spike at the crown.
		The Pickelhaube is still part of the dress uniform of the Swedish Royal Guard; the Portuguese National Republican Guard; the Military Academies of Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador; the Army Band of Chile; and the Presidential Guard Battalion of Colombia.

	The Line Pickelhaube
		Hessen Pickelhaube are unique in that all ranks utilized a combination of a cruciform spike base with rounded front visors in gilt or German fittings dependant upon the Regiment.
		Unlike other Pickelhaubes with cruciform spike bases where the front arm on the cruciform is typically 1/2 the length of the other arms, on Hessen helmets the "arms" on the cruciform spike base appear to be equal in length.
		Hessen officer Pickelhaube are also unique in that in addition to the cruciform spike base with a rounded front visors, Hessen officers did not wear a Perlring (ring of pearls) around the neck of the spike, and utilized rounded studs on the cruciform spike base instead of the typical officer stars.

		The resulting reduction in the number of head wounds suffered by the soldiers lead to the general replacement of the pickelhaube within a few months on the entire Western Front.
		It is interesting to note that the model 1916 Stahlhelm made use of the 1891 pickelhaube side post for attaching the 1891 model pickelhaube chinstrap.
		Even though the German army used the stahlhelm in greater numbers and for a longer time on the Western Front, it is the pickelhaube that invokes the memory of the German soldier during First World War.

		It should be noted that as early as 1915, the German High Command was aware of that the Pickelhaube was obsolete and various 'improvised' headpieces were constructed on the field.

	How to Construct a Felt Pickelhaube
		Since I've been in the hobby I have successfully built three Pickelhaubes, one made to look like a leather helmet with brass furniture, one to resemble a felt helmet with gray metal furniture and my latest a copy of an ersatz canvas covered cork helmet with field gray furniture.
		The remaining four felt parts, the front visor, the rear visor, and the two side reinforcement pieces, are cut from the bill of the hat.
		I remind you of this subtle nuance because the size of the helmet affects the two pieces of its furniture: the rear spine and the front visor.

		The old conventional thought was that the M 95 brass pickelhaubes were followed by M 15 steel gray pickelhaubes (as you ran out of brass) which were followed by Ersatz helmets (as you ran out of leather) and then eventually in came the steel helmets or stahlhelm.
		That as materials for the production of Pickelhaubes became scarce, things were substituted in their construction.
		An Ersatz pickelhaube is a pickelhaube that has one or more parts of the helmet using a different material than the original prewar helmet in Ersatz or substitute.
