Old helmet

The welding poins are looking very similar to modern electric resistance welding points, as can be seen on automotive structures. A technique which became industrially common since the 1930s. Also the flutes on the helmets calotte are indicating a production on a modern metal spinning machine. Also I guess it is a modern helmet for theatrical use. In my opinion definitively not an authentic antique helmet - but still a nice object.
