Sorry to say, but judging by the bad pictures, I can only say it is a replica, with a fantasy plate.

Hello
I'm not sure is a fantasy plate, i think is this one on this partial image, at the moment the only one i found ( two storks and two lions ) is much like except for the dimensions ;
Kris: Do you think replica because of the eagle?

Hey Luke;
I think so because of the whole construction of the helmet; to round on the visor part and not curved enough on the top! Finition of the leather also gives a clue.

About the plate;please compare!
Thank you, Kris. I thought it looked very round but the details of the plate caught my attention. However I'm just a novice.

Hello
Yes is this one, much more detailed than mine, anyway fake or not, what plate is this?
Cheers
Definitely a fake! It is suggesting to be a Inf.Reg. Nr. 93 Anhalt Dessau.
A golden rule when buying composed pickelhaube plates is; the top plate should never conceal the text (or parts of it!) on the "bandeau".
When I say "conceal" I mean in a way you can't read it!
Also give attention if it say's "Koenig" or "Furst" and so on...
I bet the plate on the helmet showed in the first image says "Koenig"!
