What are common red flags in fake pickelhaubes

To be clear.

I'm not suggesting that the helmet be purchased in order to salvage the parts from it and tossing the shell..

What I'm saying is that the value of the parts by themselves make a compelling argument for purchasing it.
Steve, this was a general message to everyone not to be hasty about it. You are right that these parts are worth a lot. There are only a few percent of items that are good for parts only, but it is always worth trying to restore them. If someone is not experienced in such work, you can ask or have experienced people do the repair. Have a nice day.
