Custom Piece Miniature – German Prussian Pickelhaube Spiked Helmet features a glossy black finish with a prominent gold-colored spike – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

The item is a Pickelhaube (or Prussian Spiked Helmet) accessory, which is designed for minifigures. This is a custom toy accessory modeled after the most iconic version of the Pickelhaube. It features a glossy black finish with a prominent gold-colored spike on the very top. The helmet includes the classic rounded dome, a front visor to protect the eyes, and a rear neck guard. The gold spike typically denoted an officer’s rank or was part of the dress uniform in the real historical context.

Background: The Pickelhaube was originally designed in 1842 by King Frederick William IV of Prussia. It became the defining symbol of the Imperial German Army leading up to and during the early stages of World War I. The black leather helmet with brass or gold fittings was the standard issue. While it offered protection against saber cuts, it was not effective against modern artillery and shrapnel, leading to its replacement by the steel Stahlhelm in 1916.
