Hi Johny,The eagle screws look like they were originally soldered.
I didn't quite understand what you meant, but now I know. Thank you for your responseHi Johny,
The eagle looks original to me, also the screws, it is just that if this helmet is made early in the war then I would expect the M95 attachment method for eagle to be used, which means loops. Your eagle is the previous model.
Regards,
Lars
Now I see that the red background is not an officer, so what will be the difference?I started to look at the eagle and I see some differences that I have marked, a different manufacturer or an officer and regular variety?
Perhaps this is the older type Lars mentioned, one is dotted and the other is smoothNow I see that the red background is not an officer, so what will be the difference?
Agree with Lars. Here we have an eagle with M1860 attachment (inverted Y threaded rods) but with a natural sheepskin cap M1915.Hi Johny,

I remember that helmet wellIt’s a variety of an other manufacturer in my eyes. The eagle doesn’t look like a reproduction.
Here is a helmet with a similar eagle plate:
