The item is a Russian Imperial Adrian Helmet (M1915) accessory, designed for minifigures.
Gunmetal Russian Adrian Helmet with Imperial Eagle This is a custom brick-built headgear accessory molded in a metallic silver-black (gunmetal) color. It replicates the distinct shape of the M1915 Adrian Helmet used during World War I, characterized by the raised comb (crest) running along the top and the rim around the base. The key feature is the printed black insignia on the front, representing the Russian Imperial Double-Headed Eagle (the coat of arms of Tsarist Russia).
Background: During World War I, the Imperial Russian Army adopted the French-designed Adrian helmet to protect its soldiers from shrapnel in the trenches. While the shell was the same as the French version, the Russians added their own national symbol—the massive metal Double-Headed Eagle—to the front. This helmet symbolizes the final years of the Tsar’s army before the Russian Revolution of 1917. In a LEGO diorama, this is the perfect gear for WWI Russian Infantry or White Army soldiers fighting the Bolsheviks.
