Here is the helmet recently bought from the guy who found it on thge attic. The helmet looks with surface rust, and there just a spots of original paint visible though. But after the bit of refreshing it became back to original paint.
I am looking these up for a friend. He came across these and I can’t find examples of these that don’t look like they were attached to a ribbon. Did they hang from something? He found these and others while remodeling a bathroom.
