I would believe there should be some period photos of this helmet somewhere. I find it so special it must have been a bunker decoration, or a eccentric volunteers lid. Either way it is something everyone would have taken a photo of if they saw it in use, or on the wall.
It will be interesting to see where it ends up. I sent an email some time ago asking if he wanted to sell it, but he didnt answered me back.

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

'I do not think we can hope for any better thing now.
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.
