I too thought it was a Pith helmet, however its larger than those and I always thought they had a slide pin mount not the weird loop binding this thing has...

in the meantime I did find this on stewarts

Hmm, that's what prompted my comment.

The gold ones by KWM & CB have a single long strudy vertical clip in the middle but IMO this is a silver specimen and the hardware is more "British cap badge looking" than what you see on typical parade tropenhelm eagles... I have seen a few silver birds like that over the years with the same hardware. The design itself reminds me of the funcky looking eagle you see in the Assmann catalog but no way of knowing for sure

Assmann was usually keen on marking their stuff any sign of an "A" on the back? (swaz area)
