Any thoughts on this helmet? Any comments would be appreciated. it's hard to tell if the outer shell was repainted. Looks a little shinny to me. These are not my pics, this is all I have on this lid.

 

Thank you.

The helmet looks like it’s paint is gone and very smooth too.

 

Could it have been vigorously cleaned and then oiled?

It looks all original to me.....but as others have said, someone has cleaned it TOO much. The shell is British which is not unusual for 26th Div helmets. Each regiment of the division had their own distinct helmet insignia.
