Constructed of a pressed and boiled blackened leather shell, the helmet is topped by a gilded brass cruciform plate, fixed in position with four rivets, featuring a protruding post perforated with ventilation holes around the outer circumference. The post is topped by a removable spherical ball which screws into position with an internal nut, and indicates addition in 1916 or later. A gilded brass plate is affixed to the peak, and consists of a central crown Bavarian coat of arms, flanked on each side by lions rampant, situated above a bandeau bearing an inscription of “IN TREUE FEST” (“STEADFAST IN LOYALTY”).

It is flanked on each side by ribbed rosettes, with right side magnetic metal rosette finished in a red, white, and black Imperial German tri-colour motif, while the left side non-magnetic metal rosette is executed in a Bavarian blue and white (substituted with silver) national colour scheme. Studs emanate from the rosettes for the accommodation of a multi-piece chinstrap, consisting of two reinforced black leather bases topped by rounded, gilded brass scales which cascade toward the centre, where the two halves lock in place with a stud.

A rare and exceptionally well-preserved Model 1868 Raupenhelm issued to an Officer of the Bavarian Reserve Infantry, constructed of a boiled and lacquered black leather shell. Riveted to the crown is a striking bearskin comb or “caterpillar” which extends from the peak to the lower back edge. Affixed to the peak is a gilded bronze plate measuring 9 cm (w) x 10 cm (h), fully vaulted to fit seamlessly across the shell. The shell is flanked by two gilded brass lion heads executed in high relief, each accommodating a loop in their mouths, in turn retaining a period original two-piece black leather chinstrap which fastens together with a functional brass buckle meeting an array of eyelets carefully perforated into the opposite end. Inserted into the upper edge of the left-side lion head is a silvered and blue painted Reserve cockade. Completing the exterior features are protruding and downward-pointing visors emanating from both the front and back, with the former featuring a gilded brass reinforcement riveted in place across the rim. The interior is partially encompassed by a black leather liner which culminates in eight fingers, each perforated at the top with an eyelet for the accommodation of a drawstring. The crown retains a fully-intact manufacturer’s label reading “CHRISTIAN BLOCK, KGL. HOF. GÜRTLER, MÜNCHEN”, indicating production by a noted manufacturer of Bavarian Reserve Infantry headgear. The Raupenhelm measures approximately 17.5 cm (w) x 28 cm (l) x 16 cm (h) (exclusive of comb).
