Dragoon helmet?

All the holes in the helmet are for de decorative strips on the side of the helmet. Plain straight (gilded) strips and strips with flowers and leaves. On one side (see picture 5) these strips are still attached. The front plate (with the Danish crest) doesn't belong to the helmet. The holes on the front suggest that there once was another front plate on the helmet.
I don't think this is a a later assembled piece. The lion sits nicely on to the helmet ans follows the curves.
