    I'm not keen on the paint applied to the shell.

    The cover is from 1967. I have seen this type of paint job on Vietnam era helmets, maybe post Korean War pre Vietnam era. Can’t comment on the Captains bars without a close up picture.

    The helmet is not rare, it is quite common. 99% of helmet were reissued and would have multiple names on the liner. Sometimes you can get away with keeping your cover.
