1970 Northern Ireland Troubles British Anti-Riot Helmet

A shed found British MkIV helmet shell with anti-riot visor from the early days of the Northern Ireland troubles, nicely stamped on the aluminium visor band with the maker's name ROTAX and year of manufacture 1970, most visors were non-maker marked so this example ticks all the boxes.
The shell's exterior has much paint loss, blistering and areas of pitting but remains in solid condition, internally much the same, the liner is now absent but could easily be replaced if required, simply click in place.
The Perspex face shield does have some age related wear,discolouration and multiple surface scratches but is free from any cracks, now with limited/poor visibility.
Have very recently seen a non-maker marked example in almost identical condition sell for a much higher sum.
This iconic pattern of helmet is becoming very sought after and steadily increasing in value.
Please study the images + additional images as they form part of the condition report.
