The first helmet is most certainly a forgery from the 19th century.
The second helmet is a helleneistic type, 3rd-2nd c. BCE.

Firts helmet is an helmet called in italian "Traianeo", it's a roman model with an ellenistic style, but i don't know were it is now

The first resembles the infamous Toledo helmet (which was categorically proven to be a Victorian fake by the museum itself recently) so closely it begs to be metallurically tested before anyone can call it anything other than a Victorian stage prop.
