      That metal trim on the visor reminds me of British caps. The Germans never had anything like that as far as I know.

          Some of the parts remind me of polish caps. They had something similar in the 19. century. Cant say what it is dough...

            Hello,

            Here's a drawing of a visor hat in wear by a Hannover soldier (1814-15):

            Here's a drawing of a visor hat in wear by a Braunschweig trooper (1848):

            Metal trim is found on visors during Napoleonic times. The chinstrap and buckle should help date the piece. I'm guessing very old - older than photography.

              IMO not german, but it could be polish.
              From the materials it is not of early or mid 19th century manufacture ( not before 1890).
              Polish caps had the metal trim to the visor for long time, especially for parade dress. Even in the late 20th century.
