Great thread, lots of neat items
As for myself I would have to say it was a hand painted air warden helmet from a fleamarket over the summer. Missing the liner and chinstrap but is interesting in the painting and the fact it's a British made WW1 shell.

As with all hand painted CD helmets, authenticity is sometimes hard to establish. The wear and the coding (which I believe to be zones the warden patrolled and painted on the helmet) do go in the direction of an authentic painted piece that I was very happy to pick up
