Hi Robert,
Schipper Fabrik is reproducing this helm and the rivits on their's are much more pronounced, the reproduction can be seen at this link

To me, this one looks right, but it is such a rare peice that I have never seen one in person.

Hello. There are minimum 4 models from Gaede helmets. The first is show in the book “The German Army” fron J. Kraus on page 96 - 97. The second is show in the same book on page 98 or on the link http://www.militaria-1914.net (and then, in "Divers et varies", choose Von Gaede). You can find the third in the book “Elmetti” from Paolo Marzetti on page 142. The fourth is the one who is to sell on Hermann Historica. They have already sell a Gaede helmet from the same model on their last auction. You can also find pictures from this helmet in "Militaria magazine" n°31 p. 41. I have a Gaede helmet from that model, pictures are following. The one sell on Hermann Historica looks good.



 
Information on the Gaede helmet is also available in The History of the German Steel Helmet, 1916 - 1946 by Ludwig Baer.
