Spectacular one of a kind and published officer Pickelhaube
Excellent first world war privately purchased officers helmet made by Ludwig Bortfeldt, Bremen. This helmet is thé cover helmet pictured on Feldzug, Volume 1 by Michael Baldwin. The helmet is a well known and well documented example; probably one of the most wanted examples out there. Underneath is a quote from Michael Baldwin’s observations on this very helmet from Feldzug, volume 1.
The helmet was for an officer in an unidentified Dragoon regiment. It was much more difficult to construct than the previous Sharko: The whole body is made of cloth-covered cork including the peaks, as is the silhouetted front plate, visible under the cloth covering as well as the cockades. All the other helmet furniture is cloth0covered metal, apart from the uncovered, raw brass, convex mounted, troop styled chin scales. There is another identical helmet among the very large helmet collection in the Fort De La Pompelle, a very good museum just outside of the city of Reims, France. This helmet has uncovered chin scales. It may transpire that this was a Bortfeldt feature but this is my own speculation.
There is a glued repair to the spike at some time in the past and the lower portion shows evidence of previously having eyelets/grommets in the ventilation holes. There are six sewn cotton retaining loops to the front of the badge and four to the rear. Although now missing, these would have held in place red woolen regimental numbers which were mounted on the same type of cloth that is covering the helmets exterior, when required for field manoeuvres or wartime service.
This is a spectacular helmet is exceptionally rare and can be seen on the cover and extensively photographed inside of Feldzug, Volume 1 – making this one of the most desirable first world war Pickelhauben on the market today!

Soldbuch Grouping to Stabsgefreiter Richard Reis 6. Fallschirm-Jäger-Division – Arnhem, Reichswald
Large Soldbuch grouping to Stabsgefreiter Richard Reis, serving in various Luftwaffe Sanitäter and Flak units from 1943 onwards. He was transferred to Flak Regiment 172 and later to Luftwaffe Sanitäts Staffel Berlin. He was transferred early July 1944 to 2. Kompanie Sanitäts-Ausbildungs Abteilung der Luftwaffe. 4.10.44 he was transferred to Fallschirm Pionier Abteilung 6, which served under the 6. Fallschirmdivison which at that point was reorganized. On 19 November 1944 the division moved to the front, north of the Waal, south east of Arnhem at Elst, Valburg, Zetten and Opheusden. On 20 December they moved to the Waal-Bogen at Hasselt. On the 8th of February 1945 the British offensive in the Reichswald started and the 6.th Fallschirmdivision took part in heavy fightings over Kalkar, Moyland, Marienbau, Xanten, Wesel, Emmerich and Praest. In march 1945 the division was pushed back to the rail line Doetinchem, Treborg, Varsseveld and Aalten. Early April 1945 the division moved through Zutphen, Hengelo, Holten and Hellendoorn. Between 17 and 19 April 1945 the division fought off multiple armoured attacks at Zutphen, Voorst, Bussloo and Deventer. 20 April 1945 the division moved to new defensive lines west of Apeldoorn between Hoenderloo, Apeldoorn, and Vaassen. Early May 1945 they extended to Amersfoort, Nijkerk and Putten. This is where they go into British captivity.
The grouping consists of the Soldbuch, a number of portraits and photographs, his EKM and various personal and POW documents. The grouping is a good base for further research. The Soldbuch is in strong worn condition and there are some pages missing. I have scanned all present filled pages. A excellent grouping with tons of potential further research!
