| Four basic patterns of helmet plates can be found on Preußen (Prussian) Garde Pickelhauben. The issue plate is discernable by the solid crown and a flat Garde star, while the Eigentums-helm, (privately purchased) pattern has a solid or voided crown and a deeper Garde star. The "Extra" Eigentums-helm pattern has a massive Garde star and the officer pattern has an enameled center. Each of the windows below contain more detailed information on these patterns. |
