the bluing is really fading on that Jager zu pferde pickelhaube. And what happened to the back? Did someone try to solder it?

First one is a Fire helmet, would have to look up for what city... $300 or so IMO

It looks original to me but Tony Schnurr is the the only person I know who has studied these very carefully.

No picture of the Braunschweig kokarde Francisque? Tony is a member here on the forum, you can PM (private message) him as you are also a registered member. From the inside photo this helme, also seems to have a unique reinforcement for the top of the helme...no circular disque. I have worked on a helmet years ago that had an aluminium cruciform 4 arm arrangement which might be slightly similar.
