My friend would appreciate some help identifying his Mitre helmet please (I wish it was mine!).

Thanks in advance.

WOW

Thats a Mitre for an Officer of the Fusilliers from the 1st Foot Guards Regiment and a beautiful one at that.

Your friend is a lucky guy to have such a beauty, I also wish it was mine

A fine Grenadiermütze!
Recommended reference in J-L. LARCADE; Volume I; chapter 4.
-Chinscale halves with flat, white metal scales.
-attached to the side posts on Knopf 91. For Officers: covered by rosettes! [Generalised for all Officers headgear as of...A.K.O. 21st of September...1915...]. There is a picture in the fine James Turinetti reference book: "the Grenadiermütze" page 27. [Steve Mc Farland Collection!]. Would love to see this one disassembled...euuuhhh...the chinscale halve that is...No need to take apart the entire Mitre...Thank you.
-A soldier only had one pair of chinscale halves! used on the Lederhelm ["Pickelhaube"] or on the Grenadiermütze [Mitre] for guard or ceremonial duty.

Very nice. Original ones are hard to come by and at a price too.i don't collect them due to my limited knowledge of them

Correct
I have one from an old collection
also I have an e m 1 Garde Regt zu Fuss helmet
where the chin straps appear to be a little large
that is because they had to fit the miter helmet also
