I don't want to be the messenger of bad news, but looking at these pics, it seems to be put together...
The plate shines much more than the other fittings and the spine seems to be a later M15 model...
Hope this helps,

Hello,

thanks for your reply, can't it be period done? personal purchase / modification as it is a "reserve" one?

Unless this one is dirt cheap, I would pass too. Rear spine definitely looks like it is from a M15. I would also have to say that this one feels put together, although it would help a lot of we could clearly see the unit markings in the rear skirt; to even see if it is stamped to a reserve regiment of artillery.

This helmet was made by Julius Jensen in Straßburg in 1915 and it is named to : LANDSTURM RES. WILH VOGT , I will ask for the regiment number.
