Fake Pickelhaube?

[Pionier]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding a helmet I have found on a polish "ebay - like" site, selling for about 600 Euro.
The seller claims that the helmet is an original oficier pickelhaube. In my opinion the helmet is a FAKE.
Could you guys, please tell me what you think about the helmet.

This is the link to the auction:

Thanks,

The shell has an enlisted style liner, which is new, and shell itself also appears to be new.
The plate looks like a policeman's bird without the center wappen.

I agree with Brad... The liner is definitely a fake and the shell as well, not to mention that rear seam...

The wappen looks good but is indeed missing a central plate. It could also be Customs?
