Identifying the original wearer of a “Leiber” Officer spiked helmet

[Claudio]

Dear forumites

I would like to show you a “Leiber” (K.B. Inf. Leib-Regt) Officer spiked helmet, purchased some years ago, with a crowned chypher “P” (Herzog/ducal crown https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzogskrone or Landgraf/count crown  https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landgrafenkrone https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Can the original wearer of this spiked helmet be researched?

I guess there weren’t many officers with such high aristocratic title in that regiment... I noticed some notable aristocratic names beginning with P in that regiment, but I’m not so sure.

Thank you in advance for your valuable comments and inputs.

Best regards,

Claudio

It's really "shiny"

For this helmet I though one of the von Prankh (Adelgeschlecht) could have pre-owned and worn this helmet. I noticed that a couple of them (see Bavarian branch of their family) served in the Leib-Regiment.  The crown look like the one of a Landgraf or or Graf... 

What do you think?

I do think it is much rather a Fürstenkrone

At first I also thought this, but to me it seemed a too high nobility grade for such helmet... I haven’t found any Fürsten  in the Leib-Regiment. Could this helmet also be for cavalry?

Not even a la suiite?
