American Pickelhaube

Good observation! Very interesting variant construction. One peak seems to be leather and different from the other, I wonder is that also felt, pressed board, or some other material?
 
The visor stitching is very coarse like a Prussian M15 as well. A square cast brass spine nut and tin washer....very German. Seems weird though, no crown on the eagle wappen. However, no American bird would ever wear a crown! 😊
