No, somebody has just added (incorrectly) Officer style Reich & state cockades.........but there was an Officers M15 version with detachable scales chinstrap & spike and all other Officer style attachments see here for images and explanation.... Model 1915 Preußen Officer's Pickelhaube as can be seen it did not have the Field Grey fittings !by anton67
Oh and by the way Anton , leave it as is, do not clean, you will destroy its history !
Prost ! Steve.
I just dust mine occasionally. No rubbing and
definitely no brushes or chemicals.

I was addicted to the "Hokey-Pokey" but I've turned
myself around.
Well said Steve!

UPDATE.
I finally got the correct cockades.
Please confirm that for me.
I intend to sell the officer's cockades to recoup my money (posted in another thread).
Here are the updated photos.

In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917
