Question on Mecklenburg DR17 Officer's Wappen

[cptbob]

How does this wappen look to folks? I have not seen any photos of one with a Reserve/Landwehr cross that big. They are usually smaller on the officer's helmets.

Looks beautifully detailed

If the fakes are that good, I'm retiring.

A front plate like yours on a helmet shown in Dr. Eric Johnsson's book from the 1970's page 44
possibly from the collection of the late Norm Hobson
