Old Helm mystery...

I am far from knowledgeable about ancient helms but I have to question the gauge of what looks like standard mild steel sheet. I do not like the rather undisciplined way of try to make a rolled edge. In my opinion this is 19th century if you are lucky.

I would say that is a (relatively) modern reproduction of what someone thought a Crusader helmet looked like.
