More pictures of the helmet
Even better with the new pictures.
I’ve looked at this helmet a lot over the last week and come to the conclusion that I’m not 100% confident that the camo paint is period. It has nice brushstrokes and appears to show age but not 100 years plus ageing. To my eyes it is also very one dimensional. Original camos generally have a depth to the paint caused by age patina etc. Also I see that inside looks nice and untouched and has an older patina than the outside. Under the camo paint there appears to be a layer of grey type paint which appears that have been applied at the same time as the red which is a bit odd. If it was a reissue it would be quite normal to see this but applied at the same time as camo a bit of a red flag. If it was a reissue it should have a size stamp visible in the back inside apron of the helmet.
Of course this is just my opinion and in hand it may look much better.

Hi Andy, thank you very much for your great help! Yes, if you could hold it in your hands, it would be the best for the final analysis. Unfortunately the tag covers the size stamp.
