This is probably a once in a lifetime find.

Hello,
Mecklenburg-Schwerin Dragon helmet, Model 1848, in use until 1868, when it was replaced by the Prussian leather Dragon helmet, with the M68 plate. A few of these are known in Germany, but they are not sought after in France, as they do not correspond to either the Franco-German War of 1870 or WW1.

Yes correct @CLOVIS 57, I also managed to source one, from a older Swedish collection, mine needs to be more polished, but I think I plan on keeping the patina on mine.
