Hi , it's not one I would pursue personally , the 7 in the inscription appears to be painted on top an established rust spot. Leon.
The marking inside was made by a little boy? I don't like such beautiful stories.

It looks to me that it was just a beat up helm on the outside that was painted over and artificially aged. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for the advice guys.
This helmet was discussed previously on this thread: Winter helmet Named SS - Roster help?
A site search here for "okinawarelics" brings up a number of other items associated with the same vendor.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
