This Off pickelhaube looks good to me.
- 1 star has been changed
- the black round plate inside does not belong to the helmet usually

doesn't look good, crown of eagle is not open, spitze + teller not common, splinten im inneren as far as I can see not OK, model suspicious (vorderschiene attached in a strange way, too vertical), looks like a composed helmet to me. not OK as far as I, m concerned...
other opinions?

 

[monfort]

As far as I can see the crown is voided. So the plate is an officer plate

This piece looks fine to me. As far as the spike base disc goes, I have seen this "V" cut out many times. As we speak, I am working on a Prussian Guard officer helme which has the lower quarter of the disc completely snipped off. They did not even bother to do a V cut out just cut straight accross the lower portion of the circle. Brian

This helmet has all the characteristics of a Train officier helmet
