Those vulcanfibre helmets always display well because they retain their shape; this does, however, appear to have had some light restoration. The front retaining pin looks to have been replaced at some time. I'm aware that on Bavarian helmets the front retaining pin is rareley a star(because it was hidden by the Crown of the wappen) but the style of this looks a little odd?
