Sorry I tried to up load photos and they didn't come through. I was able to make another post under the helmets section and upload pictures. Thanks!
Here are some pictures. Sorry they didn't upload the first time.
your helmet is a WWI British made shell [missing the liner]
FKS is a British maker and it also has the split rivets for the chin strap loops thats another clue it's of British origin.
it's worth around $30 as is without a liner
I would love to be buying a WW1 lid for $30 where can you get them at that price ???

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I also would!They were used by Polish units during the Polish-Soviet war like in the picture.
WW1 British Brodies go for a lot more money than that !!!
