RLB Helmet

[Steelhead10]

Hi All,

Saw this in a shop today and I know how uncommon RLB type helmets are so I thought I'd post it here before deciding to negotiate a price.
There's no markings on the shell from what I can see, it may be obscured by the green overpaint.

Although from what I can see the layout of the liner rivets and liner look to be Finnish, although for what the seller asking is it'd still be a fair deal on a Finnish used M18 if the decal could be removed if unoriginal.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Having a quick double check from the pictures it does appear more likely to be a Finnish used helmet with a fake RLB decal.

This one is still rather interesting, based on the Paint sceme and the Liner - this should be a WW2 configuration Finnish Reissue right? Does not look like the post war examples i´ve seen.

From the supplied images it looks like a good RLB decal. It is a variation, and is typically found on "duckbilled" versions of the RLB helmets. Here's one from my collection as a comparator, please note the inconsistent rays on the right hand side of the decal . - D.

Thanks for the replies.

I will attempt to get some better photos when I'm next off work.
