I think that was the point of the "...".
Looks like a complete mystery, maybe folk have got an idea what the function of a stripe like that could be, might let us hazard a guess at what's going on with it.

Re: Helmet, original colour ?
Just thinking, is it dead on straight and level or a wee bit off center?
Re: Helmet, original colour ?
The stribe is maybe a little off center. maybe 5mm if it is. it looks really off center on the picture tho.
