Polish crest, honestly its probably a cheap pot metal repo that would hardly deflect a stick

Alright listen here retards polac/k/ coming through, theres one reason why this is a fake (other thank looking like shit) and probably done by some fudd in his garage to spice it up alittle; the Polish crest and eagle during the communist era was missing the crown, courtesy of Moscow. OP's helmet has a shitty crown spray painted on, along with rectangle wings.

Can confirm that's supposed to be a Polish eagle on Polish helmet.

My helmet is very dilapidated and beat to shit, but the sprayed on eagle is legit and original.
