German Shako Police?

We are 12 years later now and I see that prices of a mint shako like that are doubled....as I consider to buy one...this is not good...for those who have bought one at that time, this is good news (but I guess the majority does not see it as an investment..., neither do I).

I was lucky to buy one not so mint but very nice for about $600 several years ago

I recall seeing one at the time in mint condition and complete with plume for $1,000 and I thought, too expensive. little did I know.

And these below sold many years ago for a fraction of the cost today

There is also a version of this shako with brown instead of black leather. It seems those with brown leather are hardier to find. Maybe this can explane the differences in price ?
