I think it is a helet worn by ww1 tank drivers. If it is and authentic then I believe it will be very rare.
Chainmail may have been added so the helmet can be used by medieval reenactors, my 0.02$. I hope dave is right though

Thanks for comments, it has a H and S stamped one above the other right near the metal 'nose' guard.
Unforutnatley it is not original. Below is a link to and earlier posting of the real deal.
The MkII was an improvement on the MkI by adding the nose guard to stop the chain mail slapping against the face, it also allowed it to be flpped up out of the way of the face.
