As you note, it's a fake camo job. Shell is original.
Can't say if the liner is real as there are no photos of it. While I can see edges we need to see the whole thing.

Ahhh...ok. See you added the photos.
Liner is original. But unsalvageable. It the helmet wasn't sprayed with a fake camo, the helmet as a whole would have been a very salty original.

I was thinking the same as you...is it that hard to remove that spray while keeping the underlying original paint in tact? Any methods or tricks out there???

Depends on the paint and technique used. There are a few guys here who have done it successfully but most attempts end in something less than satisfactory. I've personally never tried it myself.

A shame that another helmet has lost most of its historical value all for the mighty $$. As far as stripping the paint I think you having nothing to lose and if done by a professional you may get a good result. At least better than how it now looks. Here is a link to a past thread and some examples of the results of paint stripping if done well: Black Painted helmet

Why would you even consider removing the paint , it will never have the patina or look of the an authentic untouched piece. Save yourself the trouble.
