Your better off buying a cheap relic helmet atleast that way it'll be original, a Chinese copy sitting on the shelf just wouldn't sit right with me, imo.
Well, now you've got me a bit curious, do you think it'd be fine if someone reenacted as a German with purely Swedish and Finnish equipment? (i.e. a German model Swedish uniform, and a Finnish stahlhelm)
And yes, I know that Finnish helmets were produced alongside their German counterparts.

The helmet may look original to those who haven’t spent a lot of time looking at original helmets, but for those that have, copies really stand out as bad quite quickly. Keep it for what it is and buy yourself an original example to compare with and you’ll soon see the differences.
I'm not an expert but I think the s@%*y crimp and stamp would be red flags to name a few, I don't want to expose too much here.

Nestof is a Polish replica company that sells all kinds of stuff, from decals to NSDAP party pins.
I've also just realized that I overpaid €3 for a Litzmanstadt liner that barely fits anyways, oh well
(example of Nestof marking)
