Custom Piece Miniature – German Pickelhaube Spiked Helmets – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

four distinct helmet accessories from left to right:

The first item is a Black Pickelhaube with Gold Spike. This represents the classic Prussian Officer or dress uniform helmet. It features a glossy black finish with a prominent gold-colored spike on top. Background: Before World War I, the Imperial German Army wore polished black leather helmets with brass or gold fittings. This high-visibility style was iconic but proved dangerous in modern combat, leading to the adoption of cloth covers.

The second item is a Tan Pickelhaube. This represents a helmet with a Desert Sand or light-colored cloth cover (Überzug). Background: Soldiers often covered the shiny leather helmets with cloth to camouflage them and reduce reflection. A tan color would typically be associated with specific environments or potentially German colonial troops in Africa during the early 20th century.

The third item is a Dark Grey Pickelhaube. This represents a helmet covered in the standard Feldgrau (Field Grey) cloth. Background: As World War I began, the bright colors of 19th-century uniforms were replaced. The Feldgrau cover was essential for trench warfare in the early years (1914-1915) to blend in with the grey mud and smoke of the battlefield before the steel helmet (Stahlhelm) was introduced.

The fourth item is an Olive Green Pickelhaube. This represents a helmet with a standard Field Green or olive-drab cloth cover. Background: Similar to the grey version, this olive tone was a common variation of the camouflage covers used by German Infantry to hide the leather’s shine and the metallic spike from enemy snipers during the initial stages of the Great War.
