Tombak Kuerassier Metalhelme?

[RON]

From the same person selling the cavalry cockades...

I'm no expert on these (yet) but the shape looks wrong and the parts to complete it would probably cost more to gather than what a complete original sells for?

"I am auctioning this as a Reproduction not as original........I have never been certain if this is original or not because I have not handled enough..and I have not been able to find original parts to complete it over the years."
Sounds like the seller gave up on finding parts, too.
