Advice on M17 helmet

Hi, came across this helmet for sale for $250 US. The seller claims the paint to be original with the owners name inscribed on the inside rim. It has ‘ Cpt Lewis Zarby Remagen Germany AM Rhien July 1st 1919’ scratched onto the inside of the dome’. just after opinions on whether this would be original and why it would be dated after the ceasefire, did something occur here after the war?
