Please Help Me to Identify this Helmet.

I was hoping that somebody could help me with identifying this helmet. I have been told that that it originates from 19th century China or Tibet. It might be correct but I think that Korea and some other Asian countries had similar helmet designs.
Tell you the truth I have my doubts about this helmet since I am aware of amount of fakes and reproductions produced in China.
I am not a specialist in Asian arms and armour and I would appreciate any help and comments about it.
