Bought this cheap (thought it may be fun to shoot at, in fact) but want to make sure it's not something rare and valuable first (although the shoddy condition probably makes it unlikely to be valuable). It was sold to me as a Chinese helmet, but no other information was given. Looked up Chinese helmets but wasn't able to find one that seemed to match. I entertained the idea that it could be Soviet but it doesn't really match the profile of any Soviet helmets either and seems to be chintzier in construction than typical Soviet helmets. There is VERY faint writing on the inside, it appears to be hand-written along the rim on the front, most of which I cannot make out but appears to be Latin characters (that is neither Chinese nor Cyrillic). There are no other markings. Anyone know much about it, what years it may be from, etc?
