Second, the bright orange rust visible where ever the paint ( which seems recent ) didn't cover gives me pause. Is it possible to get pictures of the inside of this helmet, possibly including the visors opened separately from each other and a weight?

Thank you, I understand your concerns. I have asked for additional photo's
