Any idea what this is?

A friend of mine got it from his grandfather. It's no Haube for sure, but does anyone of you experts have a clue?

Best regards,

Marcel

Marcel,

it is a 1905 pattern helmet for an Austro-Hungarian Dragoon officer.

Many thanks for your answers, and what a nice picture Joe!

Any ideas about the market value of such a helmet?

regards

Marcel
 
In good condition they seem to run in the $1200-$1500 range.Although I have 2 that I got for less several years ago. But, it's all about condition. The lining is absent and the red felt behind the chinstrap is incorrect. It should be leather. Still, one of my favorite helmets that displays beautifully.
