I've tried figuring it out, but my searches haven't been too fruitful. Any idea on value and originality? Thank you.

My opinion it is a put together Prussian officer garde regiment. Everything about this to me says put together but i am NOT an expert. It looks like the chinstrap is an officers scale strap and an officers cruciform spike base. If it is officer the liner should be a silky type material not leather fingers as the EM would have. The spike itself ive never encountered that style on a german picklehaube. And the shield looks like a Prussian Garde but the center " flower" i have no clue. Once again my opinion and i am NO expert

Thank you for helping me to figure out the "pieces". I also could nor find a match to the spike or spike base and the rest seemed "concocted".

You have a great start to a pickelhaube, do research and locate the missing pieces and rebuild it to the glory it once was..maybe some members who are more knowledgeable than I can help fix this piece

I think the whole thing may be a reproduction.

To me the liner looks off (this would be an enlisted) raw leather under visor is wrong, eagle looks wrong, spike shape wrong.

 

Looks like a Pakistani knock off to me.

Yes, it's a modern era made in India helmet. The whole thing is a modern made fake/replica/copy.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
