For auction is an original set of silver chin scales for an Imperial German Pickelhaube. I believe these would be for an Officer's helmet. I am not sure what type of metal they are made of. 

One side is complete, along with original leather and little buckle. It seems the leather backing on the other side was in the process of being restored a long time ago, but was never completed. Also, the little metal piece would attach the two sides together isn't present. With just a little work, these would look great on an original Pickelhaube!

Thanks for looking, and good luck!
