How is it being identified as a grave marker helmet? By the hole in the top? It could just as easily have been from a table lamp.

True. But how else do you really identify a helmet as a former grave marker?
-
Exactly the point...you don't, and because of this it should not command a premium price. As it sits, it is simply a damaged Shell of limited value.

40 years ago, I remember one helmet(German) in the civil cemetery in Munster(Alsace), it was rusted by rain and snow...

I dont know, maybe it was not a grave marker but why would it have the hole in the top.
Also, if a GI took it off of the grave a short period of time after the soldier was buried, it may be in this condition.
