This is a perfect example. The advertisement states that it is a transitional helmet.
This illustrates perfectly the transition from 1916 Berlin to 2008 New Delhi.

What more could you want?

The helmet and spike may actually be original. The 1916 CE JUNCKER mark actually looks correct. It is hard to tell from the photos but it looks like the spike and spike base have been painted gold. The Wappen is obviously an India copy and the Kokarden are questionable. The rivets on the lobster tail are also strange, possibly re-done. It's way overpriced but I suppose that it could be restored. I would strongly advise to stay away.
