if you do some research you understand why the helmet looks like it is now

Well, helmets often look like that after 60 years of different people handling them. Its propably impossible to say anything more than that the swaz was painted on an older WM helmet. No offence here ok.

Doug, thanks for sharing the photo, a rare and beautiful helmet indeed. I've always been fascinated with the SA and Freikorps Helmets. Check out this link from another forum depicting a great collection of obscure helmets. Scroll down to the collection pics.
