I just bought this helmet and believe the white paint to post war. I noticed the outline of a luftwaffe adler under the paint. I would like to know if this looks like a recent paint job and whether I should attempt to remove it. thanks.

Is the eagle on the wrong side of the helmet?

looks like it, but im not sure theres even an eagle under there, why the raised areas, besides it looks like a black helmet which could be post war
Paint job looks like it was done about a week ago after someone had finished decorating the house !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
I'd run away from this one.
Only the shell is original.
At least if the shell is original,it would be a good restoration job......it's been mucked with seriously post war
Yikes. Looks like it could have been a post war fireman helmet with the black interior.
I'll bet they're asking a pile of dough for it.........!
