M35 ex probably motorcycle

[GeneralPutnam]

Picked up this M35
has a liner, what I think is supposed to be a ww1 variant,
was put into place by adding a few extra holes. possible ex motor cycle helmet
decals are of course fake.
Its black paint over green
I am looking for general ideas on possibilities for this.
Due to the extra liner holes, I am maybe turning it into a lamp or something of that nature.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance guys

A good M35 shell postwar reused IMO. The decals are fake. The liner could be M16 liner with M31 leather cut to fit?

I will take some better pics of the liner. It may be that combination . the liner band is leather and its riveted flush and tight to the shell

Here's the updated and extra pics of the liner,

the white spot on the inner part of the helmet is the remnants of a wasp nest that was rendered inert

As I have said, I would like to make this some sort of project helmet, if anyone has ideas let me know.
thanks in advance

I am going to make this into a lamp. My design will also allow me to do any furth damage to the helmet. will let you guys know when I complete it
