Looks like maybe only a decorative helmet rather than one made to use !! How big is the opening in the bottom ? Just measure across it at center !!

How much does the helmet weigh? Working ones were usually in the 50 - 70 lb. range. Yours looks old to me...but I'm far from an expert.

Here's some good examples:
