I purchased my first Pickelhaube a few weeks ago from a very well respected dealer and am very happy with it. It is an EM mans Prussian Pickelhaube. It has a production stamp but it is very hard to read. There is a 35 written on the inside of the rear guard and I am not sure what this signifies. Inside what appears to be 1815 is printed in ink (I would have thought it should have said 1915). It is a size 55.

What intrigues me most is the yellow markings which I was told by the dealer may be a unit marking. I would be interested to know if anyone has come across the yellow marking previously and what they may signify.

Thank you,
Andrew
