Help with identification of helmet

[Spasm]

Gents, I was at a militaria show yesterday and a friend brought along these pickled onion helmets. I've absolutely no idea as to origin, whether they are original and what value-ish they could be, given their condition. He bought from a dealer in France earlier this year to be part of his collection of WW1 stuff. All help greatly appreciated.

Here's the first (sorry about the pictures but it was indoors and half way up the Welsh mountains.....)

It appears to be Bavarian but that is all I can really say.

Here's the second one. My mate brought them to me as I've had more relic steel helmets pass me than the Das Reich Division (or so it seems) but I have absolutely no idea if these are worth him keeping on his shelf or whether he needs to have a chat with the dealer when he goes back to France again early next year.

I told him I knew some experts so thanks in advance Chaps,,,

Thanks for that, I'll let him know. At least he'll be pleased that they're original.

Hello Steve!

You could ask him, if there are any stamps.
