Would need better pictures of the paint job.But I would say post-war.

Agreed post war done, paint from pictures look like referbed for korean war.
Thanks again for the help.

Still a good starter helmet.
Airborne helmet with the insignia are very very rare and collector go crasy for them and spent top dollars.
A 502 airborne helmet sold for 70000$ at auction last year.

Well i guess thats why it was sold to me for twenty dollars hahahaha but do you think the paint was put on during the korean war or after it.
