I bought this German Model 1918 Steel Helmet at a flee market for $15. I got it for so cheep because I was knocking the fact that someone had sprayed primer on the outside of the thing. I figure it was the guy trying to sell it because as I was telling it how and why it was ruined his face dropped along with the price. When he got to $15, I decided it could be worth it, so I picked it up. Now the problem is what to do with it. I'm sure it's original as the inside still retains the Luftwaffe Grey (likely applied when the helmet was recycled for use in WWII) , though unfortunately without a liner. I've tried sanding lightly to see if any paint remained under the primer. This does not appear to be the case. I guess it was blasted before the paint was sprayed. My question is what do I do with it now? Any suggestions?
