I have read that the model was introduced in 1846 but I don't know what these dates are based on. Jan K. Kube offered one in an auction earlier this year. https://www.kube-auktionen.de/auktion144/index.php

Here ya go from the Kube catalog. It did not receive a bid at 4,500 euros.

Frank, be careful with older information, because unfortunately a lot of incorrect information about the helmet has been published over the years, probably due to a lack of sources. This catalog was written in 1988, before the internet. The same Ulrich Schiers wrote in a later book "Mit Gott, für Fürst und Vaterland" ("With God, for Prince and Fatherland"), that the helmet was introduced in 1853. This also corresponds to my research, since I found a protocol from june 1850, from the Landtag Sachsen-Meiningen, in which it is written that the introduction of the helmet is coming:
Verhandlungen des Landtags von Sachsen-Meiningen

Frank, this is a very interesting discussion for me and I'm very pleased that you initiated it. I didn’t know your source. Could you please tell me the issue of the ZfH with the article?
However, Ulrich Schiers referenced to the same document, but it reads as it were viewed as a state of research (Source: „Mit Gott für Fürst und Vaterland“ by Ulrich Schiers (2005), page 42, 43) and as I wrote before, it corresponds to the protocol from the Landtag Sachsen-Meiningen (1850):
