That's a stunning quality Wappen!An officer's wappen emblem from the Pickelhaube of a military doctor or veterinarian. It features very well-preserved fire-gilding. The item is authentic.
Well spotted. I didn't notice the missing umlaut on the bandeau.It looks like a copy. There are no dots above the letter u in the word für.

You're right, but when an official was promoted to the senior rank, the small eagle emblem was removed.Well spotted. I didn't notice the missing umlaut on the bandeau.
And a further comment on the Beampten Wappen; I think the small silver Adler often seen on these Wappens was introduced in 1905 making this one earlier than that.
