Is the visor supposed to be square?

I agree, that is a perfectly legitimate Lippe Pickelhaube.
Not every Duchy, Kingdom or City used the square visor.
Good Luck! 41 bids so far. I agree it will probably top $3000.

The Lippe fusilier battalion that wore these helmets participated in the first Schleswig Holstein War 1848-1850.
