The possibility has to be that it is a French Fireman's helmet. Not dis-similar to the British patterns of the Victorian era.

Try looking for it under a heading - French Military and civilian helmets of 19th Century. You might be lucky. Mervyn

It could also be Belgian (late 19th century) of a Civil Guard, in particular the wreath makes me think so. Are there no marking inside?
