The Germans used the same style helmet in WWI. The link says around 1930, pre-WW2.

Great find!!

Nice ID sir. I was looking for something beginning with "J" not "I". Well done.

Helmet is definitely a WW2 helmet, not a WW1 helmet. I believe this is a post WW2 veterans badge of some sort as it doesn't have a swastika. The swastika was banned in Germany post war, but many medals and badges were made later without the swastika so veterans could have their medals and wear them proudly.
