There is no maker's mark that we can locate inside the helmet. The only hallmark is the "1SRRR" above the left ear area as pictured. Most Likely 1915 or Before! Very Fine Condition for what is there. Missing the Chinstrap, Side Cockades, Liner & one of the 4 brass bolts for the top piece.
You Know the next time you see this Helmet placed for sale, it will likely be completely Refurbished by the next owner. The feather Head-Dress is still in remarkable condition.
