Looks like a nice example! I have one too, but it's in bad shape. Thanks for posting the photos.

A cool ersatz 

Just started blindfolded archery, best thing I've ever done, if you've not tried it. You don't know what your missing.

Nice piece. I have seen Prussian cork helmets but never with the metal trim both around the front visor and read neckguard. That is certainly fairly unique.
Very nice catch

There is no metal trim around the rear neck guard (visor) on this helmet.
What appears to be metal trim is actually green leather which is sewn on.
A good explanation is shown here:
