you have seen this badge painted on helmet ? it's possible ? best regards;

[GD/LW]

I agree with BrentNunns, post war painted. The helmet has a lot of rust and used, yet the paint looks so "fresh".

Hi, I'm thinking at the Phantom regiment (Recce) and probably 1940.
Can you see a date in the helmet ?
