Headless 2nd Kurassier

sure it is probably easy but I wouldn't want a "frankenstein" eagle on one of my haubes. Eagles exist with different color, type and shape. It depends on the natural patina, what time/period the eagle was produced, brass, neusilber, M15, officer and the regiment. you can't just put any eagle head on this and its going to look like a perfect match. i think most collectors would notice it almost immediately.
 
Probably cut off post WWI during all of the mess in Germany, if memory serves, the Spartacist Revolutionaries? Part of the helmet's history.
