A nice find, Matt. Note the side post inner roundels used on plate attachments, as discussed in a recent thread. If I were you I would keep TLC minimal, to avoid compromising the sweet "untouched" character. Just my two cents though.

Thanks, oh yeah, I'm not going to clean it. TLC meaning - sewing the separation of the rear visor.

Would this helmet have had a standard Prussian set of cockades?

Yes. Prussian and the Reichskokarde.

Nice un-touched example. I like to see the natural brown leather liners opposed to the black dyed. I have owned a couple helmets with the side post washers used behind the wappen attachment leather wedges.
