Maybe i should add that i don't belong to the group of people that think that this item is a household item or a bucket. There were much better designs for such items at that time.
In my opinion this is -- how impractical it may seem in its current condition -- clearly a helmet.

My point was that the photos you posted are of the same helmet and therefore don't provide more information about date and origin that Cesare already knows.
