German Cockade - WW1?
I was very kindly given this cockade as a gift. The previous owner felt it was WW1 and possibly Prussian infantry.
Can anyone tell me anything about it please? |

Luke,
I think it is Prussian WW1 as stated. Worn on the 'pork pie' hats. Regards. |

Here is a Prussian Pickelhaube I'd owned for 30 odd years, but sold on ebay a couple of years ago. A black cockade on the left and red on the right which fixed the leather chin strap to the helmet.
Could it be the same part, but with a centre button added? Mark Last edited by dubaiguy; 27-03-21 at 02:51 PM. |

No, it won't be an adapted helmet cockade, the cap cockade is far smaller, worn on the front of the cap.
Thats a nice old helmet, original chinstrap and cockades by the look of it. It saddens me when some sellers on ebay sell such a wartime M15 helmet by stripping the whole thing down to its components and selling them individually, spike, studs, chinstrap, front peak, back peak, liner, the lot.

Thanks everyone.
Is it genuine? Looks very delicate to have survived 100 years in that condition. Found a few in situ. |
