Its Bavarian helmet worn by the Schwere Reiter regiments.

True, unusal raupen or comb on the top though, appears to be oil cloth. All the ones I have seen were made of wool.

That's the only one i've seen with the oilskin (oilcloth) covering. In German Armies 1870-71 by Michael Solka, he makes a reference to switching to the oilcloth comb during the campaign but I haven't found much else. The oilcloth is stitched and sealed but it feels like there's wool, or something similar underneath. It's as if it would be switched out when not in battle. I'm not good with the Raupenhelm at all, I was always interested in the Pickelhaube but it was a very good price, I couldn't pass it up.
