Addition. I also think that de helmet itself is made of silver. It has got a verry typical black oxidation. Alpaca (or Berlin silver) does not oxidate.

Panoleon, you would be aware that such type of modern items is not within this European forum scope. Let us move this thread to the miscellania forum.

Yes it’s the Danish coat of arms with the three crowned lions passant facing forward surrounded by water lilies leaves.
I saw a similar helmet for a general of the Danish cavalry of the King’s staff worn by King Fredrik VII of Denmark. |

It looks like some half completed/disassembled example? The number of holes back and front is striking. Why would anyone go through the trouble to create an unauthentic version of this helmet?

We never know how and why such enigmatic setups are put up.
The other day Panoleon has posted ANOTHER ITEM that also challenged everyone's insight  .
