Ok, it's been a while, but I managed to take some pictures again...
Here's for your review a M95 Off. Baden Train-Abt. Nr. 14. (Durlach XIV. Armee-Korps).
From 1871 to 1903 the Baden Train-Abt. wore a Tschako. From 1903 on, they wore a M95 Pickelhaube with rounded chinscales.
Very interesting about this haube is the very dull surface of the leather dome...

Another wonderful one! The dull finish is very interesting, almost like there was no lacquer applied. That is a real??? I wonder if it was not applied or if it “evaporated “??nice helmet! ““F
 
Superb helmet Adler! These dull finishes are not infrequent and usually sought after.
Here is one from the same unit. It is also in mint condition, with a very nice gilding on the plate. The surface of the shell has also this dull appearance but likely due, as Joe suggests, to "evaporation"...
