This WW1 Imperial German Spiked Helmet Visor Trim is an original component designed for use with the iconic Pickelhaube, the standard helmet worn by German forces during the First World War. The visor trim, typically crafted from brass or tombak, was affixed to the brim of the helmet to reinforce the structure and provide a finished appearance. It features a shallow U-shaped profile with small pre-drilled attachment holes along each edge, allowing it to be secured firmly to the leather shell of the helmet. The trim follows the slight curve of the helmet’s front or rear visor and exhibits the typical patina associated with age and use during the period. These original visor trims are often sought after for restoration projects or as study pieces, as they reflect the construction methods and material choices employed by German manufacturers during the 1914–1918 conflict. The dimensions and specific alloy may vary according to helmet model and issuing regiment.
