Baden Officer's helmet. Might be an M-1915.

Looks fine to me !
Baden Pickelhaube, being one of my favorite.
Would love to see the inside though.

Peter nailed it, it is a 1891 pattern Baden Officer helmet with nice Tall spike! Would love to see the liner!

This one looks real good, and just needs a good cleaning.

I only have two officer helmets. An M67 Prussian and an M91 Prussian. But here are the plates for comparison.
