Ok so I was about twelve and I was at a local yardsale and spot a bright high gloss lime green helmet forsale for $2 in early 1980s. It appeared to be painted in the same color as some of the interior of their garage. So I bought it and did my best to remove paint. I did uncover a decal on one side and nothing on the other. Not knowing what I know learned a few later, i protected the decal and sprayed the rest black. It did not have a liner so I made one. I have kept it all these years because it was my first yard sale find. Now I even hesitate to wipe off "original" dust.
Uhhhgggg trying to edit photos have no idea why they will not rotate!? Sorry!!!
Helmet above looks like a ok removal of paint probably put on by vet or his kids, I agree with you I would leave it it has sentimental ties to you. It however looks and was not a norweign, Danish or Finish rework Nice find back in the days when they were cheap. At the end of story yes it is all up to the owner. timothy
