I bought this MK1 helmet (marked FKS 24) a couple of years ago. I noticed that there appears to be a blue painted "shield" marking under the white paint. I have attached a photo showing what I think it looks like. Also, the interior has a unique gray/silver’ish painted rim over the original green paint. Probably a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone might recognize the possible shield marking and/or have come across a similar painted helmet before? A member of the US Militaria Forum mentioned that it might be from the 3rd Canadian Division immediately after the Armistice, but I haven’t been able to confirm any of that.
Thanks!
