What's this a copy of?

I saw this one a re-enactor site (everything is reproduction) and I wondered what it is a copy of? I never saw this plate before:


Hébergé par Imagesia, le meilleur hébergeur d'images du net !

Anyone know it?

Good question

It is the helmet plate for adjutants of the Princely Houses. In use, there would be the wappen of the Princely House displayed on the front...

Right...I thought there was something missing - thank's Arran. Do you have an image of an original?

Btw: I paid a princely sum for my house - I guess that entitles me to wear one - right!!?? 8-[
