Infantry Pickelhaube 1866

Hi everyone,

I am new to buying Pickelhaube and I have found this one which I have been informed by the seller that its an infantry helmet from 1866 with Scale Chain for Crews. I am concerned that it may not be an original and it as no lining or identification markings.
I am looking for your advise if it looks original, as I nearly got caught out with a reproduction recently. Any ideas on its value as well?

TIA
David

That is a nice original 1886 with 1894 chinscales. Good purchase.

Thanks Tony,
Really appreciate your help, I was really concerned as there are so many reproduction out there and when you ask more specific details they normally tell me its sold already or remove it from sale and ignore my questions. Great link as well, I just hope it's in as good condition when it arrives.
