This genus offered is a different type. Instead of a tip, a ball was screwed on here, which was intended to prevent soldiers from injuring themselves while operating weapons. Furthermore, the ball is an indication of the affiliation of the soldier. The wearer of this helmet thus belonged to a field or foot artillery.
This helmet is a "chamber piece" which was issued to a conscript soldier and was probably withdrawn after service. There is no stamp inside the helmet.
