For me it's look original, and not restored.
I particulary like the guard star wich have "turned" to the right with time.
It very common on good guard officers helmets.

Beautifull helmet, really impressive.
I love it.

It does look like a nice helmet--all Guard Pickelhaubes are to me--but the condition isn't great: Leather shell has missing spots & cracks, one spike base star is missing and even worse, the front visor is loose.
And there's no information on the plate (extra holes behind it?). If the same seller has built helmets, there's a big chance this could be one too...
Too expensive to risk for me.
