Not sure, but just looking at it, It looks very put together, or homemade if you will. Mainly because of the way the peaks are attached, and the comb does not look the quality of what it should be, looks more like it came off of a push broom. I personally however, cannot say, A theatre or movie prop could be a decent guess. Plus I think for something Imperial German or slightly earlier, it just does not fit the common style, if that makes sense. Being that it looks too tall, just really too flashy. I think it may be built from an original fireman's helmet, or something similar. Interesting looking though.

I've found similar civil defense (Bürgerwehr) helmets from 1820 that may have served as an example here. In my opinion, it is still a fantasy helmet because of the modified griffin and the modern elements, but it might have a more real origin than I thought.

oYes, I'm still thinking of a fireman's hull, (flattened at the top, perforated liner at the front etc...) but with a fancy caterpillar-crest-brush, for theatre, cinema, a cross-dressing dance, carnival etc...
In any case, there are no military regulations.

I am thinking perhaps a fairly recent attempt to duplicate something in this vein :
My only Raupenhelm
Bought this from an old dealer back in (I think) 2003, flattened like a burst football. It has lived ever since on a shelf with a plastic bag full of crunched up newspaper inside, slowly giving it back something of its form. Don't think I could use Brian's method of soaking the leather and...
