The WW1 Imperial German Prussian Helmet Plate is a key component of the Pickelhaube, the iconic spiked helmet worn by German military personnel during the First World War. This stamped brass plate, known as the “Wappen,” is affixed to the front of the helmet and displays the heraldic insignia of the Kingdom of Prussia. The design typically features a crowned Prussian eagle clutching a scepter and orb, with the motto “Mit Gott für König und Vaterland” (With God, for King and Fatherland) on a banner. Such plates were used to indicate both national and regional affiliations of the wearer and played a role in unit identification. During the wartime period, helmet plates were produced with varying levels of detail and from different materials, reflecting changes in manufacturing as the conflict progressed. This example represents the standard insignia used by Prussian units of the Imperial German Army throughout World War I.
