British WW2 helmet bought for $25,original?

[Rigormortis]

Hey guys, am pretty new to forum and am asking for thoughts on this helmet. Paid $25 at military swap meet like 2 years ago and am wondering if it is original and if it was good deal? $25 seems good price if original to me, even if a common helmet. Also the guy I bought from had price sticker stuck to inside of lid which didnt come off in one piece. Some of its still stuck to lid. Suggestions on how to remove w/o damaging? Thanks for any help!

Dutch made in 1956. I have one the same, which also has a dome stamp with the Lion of Nassau.

You can straighten out the liner bands pretty easy as well, just by getting them damp (spritz with a spray bottle) and forming over a bowl of the correct size. The foam rubber cross piece, that is missing from the inside crown, can be replaced with a Brit MKII piece you can usually find on eBay pretty cheep.
