THIS SEEMS ACCURATE FOR HELMET KOKARDE

Confirmed. Unfortunately I'm having trouble sourcing a Lippe kokarde reproduction for purchase. I think I will purchase a Baden Kokarde and paint the inside yellow portion red to match the middle red ring. It will then look similar to the museum piece pictured in my original post. Time to brush up on my painting skills!

I don’t recall ever seeing a Lippe Helmet. I wonder how many member here have one in their collection.

Lippe helmets do seem to be hard to find. This one is up for auction https://www.hermann-historica.de/en/auctions/lot/id/40780

It looks brand new. Maybe it is.

Says "Museum Quality Copy" in the listing.
