I believe this is not actually an officer's haube.
If it were, I believe there should be red, or green velvet on the underside of the front and rear visor.

I am definitely not a pickelhaube expert but I think that if it were
an officer's helm, the spike would have a pair of rings near the widest
part of it.

We could use Alan's help with this one.

I am no expert on 'haubes, but I recommend Kaisers Bunker for research and help on what you have:

Hi,

Thanks!!

The only one I found on this great homepage was this:

Front plate description: A view of the issued Preußen Ulanen Wappen (front plate) which is commonly referred to as an "old style Grenadier" pattern as it carried a "FWR" (Friedrich Wilhelm Rex) cypher in an oval shield on the eagle's chest similar to the first pattern Wappen worn by Line Grenadier Regiments. Unlike the Grenadier Wappen, however, the Ulanen version measures only 95mm compared to the larger Grenadier eagle Wappen at 115mm from the bottom of the tail feathers to the top of the crown. This pattern of Wappen with "FWR" cypher on the eagle's chest was only worn by Ulanen Regts 1, 2, and 3.

I do not find any similar ...
