Lobster Tail helmet; opinions please

[Zauberflöte]

Dear all, my first post in this Forum.

My collection interest reflects mostly WW1 and 2 era but once in a while older items find their way in to my home, although often I lack the proper knowledge, such as with this subject helmet.

I have not yet had it in hand but able to share these images; opinions whether original or a smart (older?) replica would be much appreciated.
