In 1847, the [[Household Cavalry]], along with British [[dragoon]]s and [[Dragoon Guards]], adopted a helmet which was a hybrid between the Pickelhaube and the traditional [[dragoon helmet]] which it replaced. This "Albert Pattern" helmet was named after [[Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]] who took a keen interest in military uniforms, and featured a falling horsehair plume which could be removed when on campaign. It was adopted by other [[heavy cavalry]] regiments across the [[British Empire]] and remains in ceremonial use.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wood |first=Stephen |date=2015 |title=Those Terrible Grey Horses: An Illustrated History of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards |publisher=Osprey Publishing |page=82 |isbn=978-1472810625 }}</ref> The Pickelhaube also influenced the design of the British army [[Pith helmet#Home Service helmet|Home Service helmet]], as well as the [[custodian helmet]] still worn by police in England and Wales.<ref>Major R.

Barnes, p. 257, "A History of the Regiments & Uniforms of the British Army, First Sphere Books, 1972.</ref> The linkage between Pickelhaube and Home Service helmet was however not a direct one, since the British headdress was higher, had only a small spike and was made of stiffened cloth over a cork framework, instead of leather. Both the [[United States Army]] and [[United States Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] wore helmets of the British pattern for full dress between 1881 and 1902.
