Bremen
Infantry Officers Pickelhaube M1846
The Bremen
Infantry adopted a
Prussian style uniform in green
and a Pickelhaube for their
single infantry battalion in
1846. The helmets were ordered
from the firm Linke in Berlin.
All fittings were in
white metal metal. The front
peaked was squared and the front
plate was an eight pointed star
with a crowned Bremen coat of
arms, consisting of a shield
bearing the Key to the city
supported by two lions.
Under the left chin scale boss
was a cockade of the Hanseatic
cross in red on a white
background and on the right side
it had the Federal cockade in
yellow/ red/ black. This helmet
weighs 830g and is 365mm high.
In
1862 the Pickelhaube was
discarded for a simple green
kepi with the Hanseatic cross
cockade at the top.
