Mystery Helmet Help

[Rich Allen]

I just picked up this awesome looking helmet yesterday at a flea market, it was not cheap, but I just love it.  Now my question is WHAT IS IT???  Any help in identification would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Rich,

I think bavarian Raupenhelm Modell 1845:

Bought this from Rick.  Any idea what the yellow/green pom signifies.  Also just learning about these wonderful helms so if I use the wrong terminology please correct me.  Thank you.  Any info would be helpful.  Keith

I believe the green is just faded black. yellow over black are the colors of Munich.

It signifies branch of service.  Red is sani, green is jäger etc...
