Stunning piece, I love it! May I ask where did you find such a rare piece? I see the occasional 1843 Prussian helmet come up every so often, but a Baden model, wow!
Actually the eagle has not been repainted. I have seen MANY helmets made specifically by CE Juncker where the eagle is painted silver. As matter of fact my m15 Jpf helmet is also made by CE Juncker and the eagle is silver...
I noticed this one on Ebay....the finish is absolutely perfect! You don't often see them this nice, usually they have some rust spots. The only issue is the spike and kockades, other than that it a beauty...
Seriously, who is bidding on this and why? The pictures are garbage and blurry. There is no detail or markings either. If someone bids on this thinking it's original without doing any research then they deserve to get swindled.....smh

Wow, this is probably the only one left in existence!
Could you give us a few more pictures too, like showing a direct front, back, and right and left side views? If would be greatly appreciated!
