Original?

Hi!
Recently I found this Uhlan styled Pickelhaube. The seller writes Its genuine but I want to hear the expert’s opinion, before spending my money. So what’s your opinion? Is it fake? After a “research” I found it is from the 3. Guard uhlan regiment. I attached some seller photos.
You can see it comes without the one landeskokarde and the part I would call a “belt”. I also think it’s from leather but I might be wrong.

Hi Obama, welcome to the forum.

Good to know that you have done a bit of research before jumping on us to give u our opinion.

If you have done your research you shd be able to see red flags on this helmet.

Hi Amy Bellars!
Thanks for you reply,
I think there is something wrong with the shape (no curving and the eagle (the middle should be silver)
Also i cannot see the "studs" or something like it around the bottom of the "square", but as far as I understand this is was only in 1915 Models. I'm pretty much new to the Pickelhaubes collecting and cannot see many of the problems that you are talking about. The main thing that helps me identify if the helmet is original is the shape. (the reproductions are very often misshaped)

This is mine, also missing its liner, but an original one.
On your's, I hope you don't buy it by the way, the front visor isn't fitted the right way, those studs should not be there, many things to be seen are different.
Also, I'd advise you to check out this site: https://www.kaisersbunker.com/index2.htm

By the way, it is good to ask here first, before buying something you are not so familiar with.
