Nkumburis Posted May 8, 2021 #1 Posted May 8, 2021 All, I hope your day went well. This is an interesting helmet, half the helmet is painted black. Any ideas on this interesting paint job? Thanks guys. Nick
trenchfoot Posted May 11, 2021 #3 Posted May 11, 2021 That's an odd one. I don't know the significance but it looks to be a post war addition
Chris Miller Posted January 11, 2022 #5 Posted January 11, 2022 Valspar Paints used these to show their paint for in store displays. They show up from time to time on eBay with the original labels intact.

Bugme Posted February 15, 2022 #7 Posted February 15, 2022 Honestly Chris, I can say I never ever heard of this before. So, I learned something new today!
