Is this real?

I found this on ebay, the seller says it's fully original besides the spike. But even with that I'm concerned about one thing. That thing being the sides, from all previous helmets I've seen none of them had the sides look like it (the thing I'm talking about will be circled in one of the pics).

mixture of parts and not good! No military helmet will have brass trim all the way around, you are correct that is wrong!. Looks like a M1870 at one time but for sure messed with!

The leather helmet was used by the fire brigade in the Czech Republic around 1920.Overall, this is a great hoax.
