Looks like not used. Your opinions?

That's the closest copy I've seen. They even attempted to fix the issues seen in the old metal Tschapka copies that are often peddled with a ton of red rust on them.

I think the shell is authentic. I had two of these metal ersatz Tschapkas. But of course it was repainted and the liner is new. On the real one there is a padding inside the shell, in addition to the liner.

I agree Bruno...that liner is a reproduction. The shell has probably been repainted...its too perfect for 100 years.
 
I saw this helmet too. If you look really closely at the inside, the visor is one piece, it's not riveted on like other originals. I did communicate with the seller and he did confirm the shell and visor were all one...
 
Again...
