If the front plate is the real deal
It's a keeper

Good find!!! The side posts are interesting. They are usually rounded, not flattened. The finish on the inner side of the rear visor should be un-painted or black I believe. The helmet is for enlisted and the wappen for officer or private purchase.

It’s not the correct eagle for this helmet, but a wonderful original officer’s oldenburg dragoon eagle.
A really good find, congratulations

I‘m sorry, but when I look at the detail photos, I start to doubt nearly all of the parts.

• I have never seen such the folded corners of the trimm on the front visor and the rear visor. As far as I know, they weren‘t messed up so overlapping at the time.
• Unfortunately, the helmet eagle seems to be a reproduction when I look at the back. The star was apparently painted gold. The Oldenburg coat of arms has a very good quality in the imprint, but the mounting tabs seem doubtful to me. And since the eagle is not original, I get a stomachache.
• The chinscales and cockades are unfortunately reproductions, as you have already written.

I would now unfortunately assume that the complete helmet is an aged reproduction

Sandy;
After seeing the back of the front plate, I agree with you

I agree with Sandy, Steve and Kristiaan. Bluffing reproduction nonetheless. Decorative, glad you didn't buy it too expensive.

As J-L. Larcade already mentioned in his books: fake Wappen appearing on Paris fleemarkets as early as the 60ies.

 

[Steve Nick]

The backside of the Wappen does give the game away, but, as castings go this one is very well done.

That's a shame but at $180 bucks it would look cool driving the lawnmower and cutting the grass.
