WWI helmet ID?

[Flying10uk]

I don't think that it's WW1 because it's got the extra "safety edge/lip" to the rim but is more likely to be inter war or WW2. The WW1 helmets that I've seen have only a raw edge to the rim.

I think it is civilian for use during war time or civil defense as WW1 type military helmets have the "donut" in the center for the straps and more bales on the helmetAttachment 76352Attachment 76353

The British MkI helmet - introduced in 1916 - had a steel rim:
