    Okay so my helmet is indeed used by the French in WW2? It seams odd that it doesn't have the emblem holes on the front though. It is possible is was used in both Spanish Civil War and by the French after? Or perhaps another possibility I am missing?

    I would agree with 'battle gear' and 'magicdutchman', the lack of badge mounting holes and the colour point to the French M26 helmets used in the Spanish Civil War. The marks inside could mean anything to the individual that made them.
    Even though it is missing the liner the fact it does not have the holes at the front makes it desirable in my opinion.
