US Blue White Cloth Home Service Helmet Spike and Base Spare Part

The US Blue White Cloth Home Service Helmet Spike and Base Spare Part is a component designed for the American home service helmet, commonly used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This spare part set includes both the spike and the base fitting, intended for attachment to the top of the helmet. The spike serves as a decorative element and often denotes wearer rank or unit, while the base provides secure mounting. Both items are constructed to match the US home service helmet’s distinctive blue and white cloth covering, which was a standard issue for certain ceremonial and dress occasions. This part would be of interest to collectors specializing in American military headgear or those seeking replacement pieces for restoration projects. The set does not include the helmet itself, only the spike and base, and is intended for use with period-appropriate original or replica helmets.
