Greetings to all, I apologize for my bad English.
I submit this finding to know what it is.
I do not collect these objects even if they are very beautiful and give a nice visual effect.
 
Do you have photos of the entire helmet? Sides, rear, liner (Inside), close-up of the spike and base, etc? If you can removed the plate, the back of the plate and the place on the helmet where it was. I don't think many here would want to give you a good identification without more photos, because date, unit, authenticity, etc. depend on an accurate assessment, and I for one can't do that from just one photo.

Thanks!

Hello .
Here are some photos.
unfortunately they are not of great quality, but I only have these.
 
M67 Baden Dragoon "officer" helme. That is in great shape considering its age and would clean up nicely!
 
This is one of the old pattern Hauben-Cavalry-and Baden !!! that I would love to have one day....

"To clean it or not to clean it, that is the question."

Here is a link to Kaiser's Bunker where you can get some very good advice in case you decide to clean it a bit :)

Thanks for posting more photos! I knew you'd get some good answers here. If you have no interest in 'haube, and would like to sell it, I suggest NOT to clean it, but sell it on this site as is.

Looks like a Baden M1867 Dragoon helmet in need of a cleaning. Here is a pic of mine James

Dragoon? With brass parts and flat scales? Did they change at some point?

Well, there's a thought. Infantry you're thinking?

Dragoner helmets in Baden had yellow metal fittings till the 1860's, therefore this is correct, but chinscales should be indeed curved. Surprisingly, James' helmet also has flat chinscales.
 
Hi Roky: I think that we have gone as far as we can on identifying your helmet. It is a very nice piece and very desirable to collectors on this forum and throughout the world. It is a Baden officer helmet from the 1860's, it is dirty but still in excellent condition and very rare. The only question is.....is it cavalry or infantry. Cavalry would be worth a bit more but really who cares? It is very rare, you can sell it immediately in a second here on the forum. Before selling, look on line for similar helmets for sale on the inter net to get an idea of value.

The same helmet is for sale tomorrow at Kube's Auktion (#616), but with curved chinscales... and Herr Kube describes it as a 1857 Infanterie Officer helmet! We have to take his word.
