IMO - fake (modern) camo paint and artificially fake (modern) aged liner.
Looks like paint was applied over an original pitted shell.

Under the paint, you can see the rust.

Liner is not period but paint work seems right.
Modern paint for sure, it's painted over the rust pitting!....
NIL out of 3,you are not doing well.
Hi, if I thought it was good I would happily "sail against the wind" but it is not I'm afraid. As the guys have quite rightly pointed out, the pitting from old rust/wear to the shell is underneath the cammo. A sure fire sign that this is a fake modern paint job, sorry. Leon.
Liner band is a 1918 pads look new and the inside has been repainted with the liner in the helmet.
