German 1915 Line Pickelhaube

I acquired this from my friend over in Montana, USA who was having a bit of a clear out before moving. He knew I liked this stuff so sent it to me for free.

Really ??, they looked just like mine and mine are original, any chance of a closer look, I,m not a WW1 collector as such, I,ve only had two Picklehaubes in 50years, still got one ,which is,nt one of the best examples 

Ok having looked again at mine, the buckles look different on this one, mine are not brass nor are the securing buckles , anything else we should be looking for??

I'm not an expert, but when @PmMeYourCats was considering it my mate checked it out, just by pics, he's a big time pickelhaube collector.
