It seems fake but if real I'm guessing it's from the early Republic/Samnite era. It is from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Does anybody know anything about this helmet or the scale cuirass?
I believe that the museum believes they are at the very least of dubious ancestry....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
