The most beautiful Dragon helmet in my opinion. Congratulations. 
I think Steve can add his own...
Note the eagle, a cross between the Garde-Adler and the Grenadier-Adler.
---The Grenadier eagle, in brass, has the Koenig bandeau (5 folds) on the chest, the S-shaped sword cross and an acanthus button at the end of the scepter.
---The Adler Guard has the Koenig bandeau (4 folds) on the right wing band (left side), the crossed sword in T and an eaglet at the end of the scepter.
---The eagle of the 3DR (as of the 7UR) is a mix of the 2 previous ones: in nickel silver, with a T guard, eaglet at the end of the scepter, but Koenig on the eagle's chest.
Occasionally I'll do a post comparing all these Grenadier de Ligne or Guard eagles, with the “Type Grenadier” with gliding wings but details borrowed from the Guard eagle.

Here we have almost every possible variation.
1---Amy (0ff DR3) cross sword and sceptre eaglet (like the Garde-Ader).
2---Steve (0ff DR3) S-shaped sword and sceptre eaglet.
3---Amy (0ff de Réserve) cross sword and acanthus knob on the sceptre.
4---All that's missing is the enlisted version of the Grenadier de Ligne (but in silver): S-shaped sword and sceptre acanthus button.

Lovely helm as always, Amy! I've never seen flaming grenade rosettes before. Thanks for sharing with us!
