Shako?

[ADH]

Good Afternoon,

Expert opinion Re: this Austro Hungarian Shako, I picked up in a small, rural antique store in South Australia (AUD $400).
Inparticular:
1. Likely era?
2. Originality?
3. Rarity?

Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Anthony

Hello gentlemen,

At first sight, it is an early 20th century Austrian artillery lieutenant's Shako, the last one to be sold at auction in Paris for €500.
A priori it lacks the false golden chinstrap which is attached to the two side buttons.

Best regards from Alsace , France.
Carfin.
