Marine-Infantry Shako Plate

[Silesien]

Does anyone have in their collections, an Imperial Marine-Infantry Shako, that they can post pictures of ?? I'd like to see what this Shako looks like. I recently picked up in a WW2 veterans stash, what I identified as an eagle plate for this Shako, in minty condition with a nice fire-gold finish; the design is the Imperial German Eagle superimposed on a foul anchor, with an Imperial Crown above.

Mine is for Reserve-Offizier:

Thanks for posting your Shako,,,- which is in superb condition. That's the exact eagle plate I have, except for the silver Reservist's Cross.

There is also an aluminum version that was issued around the turn of the century for the Tropenhelm.
