This helmet is so rare; it took me this long to find a periodic picture.




Gemäß A.K.O. vom 31.7.1860 trugen Oberste in Generalsstellung, die Uniform ihres alten Truppenteiles. Kürassiere behielten ihre Kopfbedeckung bei, jedoch mit goldenem Generalsadler und Stern. (Siehe Paul Pietsch "Fomations- und Uniformierungsgeschichte des preußischen Heeres" Band II, Seite 250).

Judging by what we can see of the rest of the uniform, I'd say the Kaiser is wearing a JzP helmet with the Dragoon type eagle...

Thanks for that remark , :-k you could be right about that ,the collar is in the shade of the head but it does look like a Jager zu pferde uniform.
