Salty....... liner discolouration could be from hair cream ( pomade) or some cleaning agent.

Interesting helmet that may be more than it seems at first glance. Early ET maker mark and low lot number. Looking closely at the photos, it appears there may be green paint under the LW gray paint? This may have started out life as a Heer helmet then reissued to the LW. The fact that it has a 2nd pattern LW decal instead of a 1st pattern also supports this. Can you see the date on the liner band? I can see it is an un-reinforced single aluminum band. Anyway, nice well used helmet with some history. I'd be tempted to lose that drawstring though, it looks out of place in there.
Cheers,
Terry

Thanks for the additional information Dan. That would explain the green paint traces. However, I still feel it is likely that the helmet left the factory with a 1st pattern decal, being such an early manufacture, so it was likely reissued at some point in it's life. And that's not a bad thing or a negative in any way. Just adds to the history of the piece.
I see it has a rare Max Densow liner. Just one more little positive attribute.
Cheers,
Terry

Are the odd shaped fingers an indicator of that Terry?

I can't claim to be such a good detective as that Dan. I can read the Max Densow name in the last photo provided. To my knowledge, the leather fingers in MD liners are the same shape as other makers and the ink size stamp should be similar to the large fancy numbers used on early B&C liners.
Cheers,
Terry
