Difficult to be sure about the history of this one I would say. If it was over painted black then I think this was done to some Czech civil defence used helmets post what. The colour of the inside does look similar to Norwegian reissue but as a stripped shell without a liner the price should reflect this - the idea of it being coastal defence sounds like an excuse to bump up the price. Just my two cents..

Indeed, I cannot imagine what "evidence" might suggest a coastal artillery connection?

I do not see the Norwegian Reissue color there. Norwegian Reissues exhibit a bright green, smooth paint - this one does not. I do agree however that i also see no evidence at all for a coastal defence helmet. Simply looks like a light yellowish camouflage, over normal fieldgrey. The inside does look a bit weird - but its quiet possible it simply looks weird because of the lighting and the contras of aging to the overpainted parts.
Its a piece with rather low collectivity - but for the right price i would take it.
