Hello,
Here's a helmet that was recently discussed on another forum, and sent back to the seller who currently listed it on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Germany-Saxon-Heavy-Cavalry-Regiment-Helmet-Model-1889-1907/154298590444?hash=item23ece9a4ec:g:OuUAAOSw8H5f9389
I believe the lion is bad, as is the base for the lion and the shield and gold color cypher as well.
Liner looks to have been replaced.
This is the first metal officer cavalry helmet that I have ever seen that only has a vent hole in the top of the helmet, with No Spike Base Holes whatsoever.
Notice also how the oval shaped base for the lion sits very far back on the top of the helmet, as compared to known originals.
Best Regards,
Alan
