hi,
its a nice a decorative helmet. i strongly feel the date is late (late 20thC). the decoration is nice, and found on contempory jambiyas made in india for export.
there are a few types of later helmet, and of them all this is the most decorative and 'authentic' looking. if you consider that the majority of 19thC helmets (both indian and persian) were made as decorative items and not to be worn, then your helmet has the same merit in any collection.
would be interested in seeing images of this -
