    Default semi relic MKI with modern over paint

    I bought this as a relatively cheap buy it now from ebay and I thought I could see it had a modern overpaint on it underneath as it covers the broken chinstrap lugs/loops.
    Once it was in my hands it was obvious the paint underneath was modern and with a bit of cleaning showed itself to be water based which came off with some scrubbing with a soft scourer and some cold water. Looking more closely at the exterior I could see the same was true and I gave it a clean to reveal the original textured khaki paint underneath which is very similar to own I own and another I used to have.
    The original paint survives quite well on most of the helmet except underneath the rim and it displays nicely now as a semi relic imo.
    There is an odd white stripe painted? on the top of the crown?
