Converted raupenhelm?

[zeebas101]

Hello everyone,

I found this up for auction, I haven’t seen anything like this before and can’t find another example online. It looks like the body of a raupenhelm but with a spike on it instead, and the Bavarian cockade replaced with the Reich cockade. The lot description says it is a Bavarian jäger officer pickelhaube, but I’m really confused about this one.
Any thoughts?

Model 1878 helmet for officers, of the "Schwere Reiter" regiments?

This is a gendarme, but this helmet is not original, it is a fake. It's clearly visible
