opinions on this old salty helmet

[ENGLISH BOB]

This helmet just arrived on my door step as you can see its a tired old thing in need of some TLC,with a bit of work it could be bought back.
Its an N.S. 64 reissue (with a complete liner and dry chin strap),by the looks of it with a white paint over the top someone has picked the vast majority of it off...I think its post war applied house paint myself but i'll let you consider what it is.....will be heading for the Estand any idea on price as it needs to go quick

heres the pics

All comments would be appreciated

That looks like a nice combat vet lid. The white looks wartime applied to me judging from the inside....multiple coats of gray and white with some eagle showing as well. Do you think someone buggered it post war trying to remove the white?

Hi Robt.
Thanks for your reply & I'm glad you like it
I can't really understand why someone went to the trouble of removing 85% of the white paint...it certainly hasn't bee touched in a long time,the chin strap stands up on it's own...though some leather food would soon sort it & the liner out i think..As i said just needs a bit of TLC..
