The wearer could eventually be Leutnant Günther Prinz von Schönburg-Waldenburg, 2. Eskadron of the GDC in the Rangliste 1907 (page 327).
One find him in the 1911 Rangliste, page 40, as Offizier à la suite der Armee, the same in the 1913 Rangliste (page 42).
In the Ehrenrangliste 1914-18, one find him page 24 and 882, as now Fürst (since 14.9.14) von Schönburg-Waldenburg with the rank of Oberleutnant, as Offizier à la suite der sächsischen Armee (Karabiner Regiment) and as Offizier der Armee (GDC) at the Oberkommando des Besatzungsheeres in Rumänien).

The ventilation holes on the top of the shell are particularly interesting. A keeper photo, thank you.
