Two points I might say it's not German.

1. It is forbidden to divorce the helmet from the shield otherwise it will all look similar from dozen (even hundreds) of families bearing the same charges. (a branch of my north German family bears the same charges)

2. There is no Marquee in German Nobility except from the time of Emperor Napoleon.

Exception: Spanish and German Heraldry was influenced by French during the reign of Napoleon...but this was a short time only.

Hint: there is a banner I see. Quarterly argent 1,4. Azure 2,3 & a sun in it's splendor. I think it's a troop flag
