Everything about this helmet is old. It's a helmet that was found in poor condition and has been handled and repaired. The rear rim comes from another helmet; it's too large, and the ventilation flap is positioned too high, too close to the base of the peak, because it was cut down by a centimeter to fit under the peak.
 
The parts are original, but the helmet is foldable. How much is it worth in this condition?
I can buy it.

Foldable? Do you mean, soft?
Forum members are generally reluctant to estimate prices. In my opinion this can be purchased as a parts helmet, or to display a camo cover. Besides, and unless it has some sentimental value for you, the advice should be to stay away, leave it where it is and find one in a reasonable condition.
 
The eagle has been repaired, but it's missing the trigger guards. However, eagles are readily available as spare parts, as there were many Prussian infantry regiments. The pair of cockades is also missing. Therefore, you'll need to add at least €200 to complete it properly.
The helmet liner is complete, but appears to have been greased. In France, a beginner could spend a maximum of €200, or it could indeed be used as a base for a helmet cover. Above, it should be left where it is.
 
What are your opinions about this helmet? Oryginal or fake.

That's a fake. Spike is wrong, hinterschiene is wrong, wappen is a copy, a bad one, liner isn't good.
Let it pass you by, and save up for a nice one, this isn't even near that.

Regards, Coert.
 
The second helmet that you showed is a modern copy. Not worth spending money on.

First one has probably original parts (difficult to say based on the photos), but it looks to me that it was soaked in water or something. The leather is very, very dark.

I recommend wait and buy nice and proper example.
Cheers
