Are there any other differences between the two helmets,
other than the imprinted eagle on the one from set 5504?

no from what i know although in some pictures the silver part is shiny but in the real toy is grey, perhaps they made it silver for the pictures to be atractive i think!

The eagle on the pickelhaube in set 5504 was chrome plated (as were the buttons on the policeman's tunic.

If the one you saw was gray, then it's because the chrome plate has worn off (or deteriorated).

BTW, PM1989, I have 9 sets of 5504 and the pickelhaube eagles and tunic buttons are all chrome plated!

i don't mean the eagle ,i mean the silver part that comes off ..as you can see and in the photograph of the box and mostly  all the photographs and the one you have above it is shiny silver but in reality is gray.

You are absolutely correct about the "spike" on top of the helmet, Alexis!

It is not chrome plated. It's a sort of silver gray color. It's also a softer plastic.

All the best,

So that's where they all are, no wonder I can't find any ::)

I haven't got any Playmo duplicates on this sort of level - the only duplicates I have is train track (you would struggle to find 2 klickies the same in my whole collection!)
