Avete omnes,
here are more pics from the Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesmuseum Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig/Germany. All found in the Thorsberg bog since the19th century. (See also this thread: http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic.php?t=14471 )
First a survey showing helmet, umbo and belt together in the display case:

Copper-alloy parts of an (probably) Auxiliary Cavalry H helmet. Due to the chemical environment of the Thorsberg bog, no iron parts survived. Therefore the dummy bowl and cheek guards supposedly are the conservator’s guess.

A comparison to the Nijmegen and Heddernheim find. Cheek and neck guards of the Schleswig reconstruction might be replaced by ones more matching other finds?

Umbo, copper-alloy (brass appearance). Diameter 19,5 cm.
Arch. Landesmuseum Schleswig Inv. F.S. 3261
