Sorry to burst your bubble, but that helmet is a reproduction - probably only made last year. You will see the difference as soon as you get it out of the box. The modern tool-marks are plain to see on the inside. Re-read the advert - at no time does he say that it is in fact it is old - he says that it is collectible!
How do I know this? I bought the same item for my son for Christmas '07 from the same seller. I went through the dispute procedure with eBay and PayPal and in the end he won because he had not told any lies; he had only distorted the truth. Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware! Sorry.

This seller does state
NOTE: Item not sold as Antique
Again, great piece if you're into collecting that sort of thing. Have fun showing it off.
I'm ok with it! ( I'll be the only one who knows around here) it'll still look good with the sodacan fire extinguisher and other old Fire stuff I have!
I'll wear it to the station and proclaim " Madness? ......THIS.....IS .....THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!!!!" ( for you 300 fans)
and actually I COULD wear it to Estrella war lol fit right in with the roman fighters!
for 140.00 including s/h it's STILL a nice piece!
