I always wanted one of these. This helmet pattern was used throughout the latter part of the 19th century. This pattern was actually modified in the mid-1890s, but the regulations were not officially updated until 1902. Thus this is known as the 1902 pattern.
This particular example is of the 1902 pattern and it features the badge of the second artillery. It is dated 1898 and was likely made by the Horstmann Company.
