I am working on an M95 for Alan at present and this is the wappen from his helmet. In my experience we don't see these very often:
Note: No motto on the bandeau ribbon upon which the griffin is standing. The motto appears on the neusilber Landwehr cross and it is a "fur Furst" rather than the Prussian Koenig.
The presence of screw posts instead of loops generally indicates an older wappen. Note the typical grey patina of 100+ year old solder.
