The oval shaped hole in the top is  ventilator, and from the rivets it was originally fitted with a comb (like an Adrian). The one piece construction, the chin strap attachments and the shape are all 1930s - end WW2. Possibly a variation of European fire department or air raid wardens helmet, many of these were fitted with combs. Definitely not WW1.

Looks like one of those mid war Austria Hungarian helmet based on the stahlhelm design! Those are super rare, too!

But, the actual helmet height is slightly off, though...
