I finally found that plate, actually saw very few plates or helmets from this small state, only one bataillon, Grenadier Infanterie Regiment 89 II bataillon, a battalion had a manpower around 1000, that's not a lot .... I don't know how to upload the pic here so please get to my website, the plate is after the Prussian ones,

If you have a similar plate or better, the complete helmet, I would be curious to see the plate and compare,

Hi Bruno, nice piece, the patina on the plate looks quite similar to mine, is the helmet marked ? Is the plate marked with a number ? What about the spike ? It's not the special Mecklemburg one, which is normal since only Mecklemburg Schwerin had that spike, it should be removable for a Haarbusch, is that the case ? The cockade should be the same as for Mecklemburg Schwerin, Blue-Yellow-Red.... One the top rarest helmet among the infantery.... Great really, I'm so happy with my plate, I can't imagine my excitation if I could find the complete helmet ..... patience ! And again, thanks for the nice picture, I love it .... Stephane
 
Hi Stephane,
In fact this helmet does not belong to me... I just have the picture.
It was offered to me for sale a while ago but I declined...
