British or Belgian Helmet? WW2 or other?

Hi guys, this is the second of my new helmets. I'm really not to sure about this one so any help you could give me regarding what it is and its value would be really appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

Post WWII Belgian made and used. Not a lot, 20 euros?

Two giveaways here..one, the sunken area on the top where the liner bolt goes through.These are flat on British mk2's, and two, the Belgian flag on the side

Brown liner and Belgian flag are always a dead give away

The flag decal almost looks like a fake which is why I didn't want to assume it's Belgian but yes, I see there were other give aways. I'm fairly new to the world of helmets! Thanks for your help everyone.

Not sure that anyone would want to fake a Belgian flag decal.

I concur with my friends here, a post-war Belgian helmet. These are not faked as far as I know of. Fakers tend to only make fakes of things that are worthwhile, such as German helmets and badges. There's no use in spending 20 Euro to make a fake helmet that is only going to sell for 20 Euro.
