Swedish!?
It defenetly looks very much like the old coat of arms of Sweden.

All I can figure is that it may be from the old Danish-Swedish alliance, but which grenadier regiment and such... still working!

Something to do with Danmark and Norway under the Oldenburg dynasty!
It is a Oldenburg family crest, and not Swedish as I tought primarily.

It's a Danish-Norwegian model 1772 grenadier helmet. Well done

Yes it looks swedish with the 3 crowns in the coat of arms. Margrethe the 1st of Denmark had the same 3 crowns in her coat of arms. Actually many had this in the Middel ages. Several kings in south England and Albert of Mecklenburg are some of them.
