Exceptional Anti Vietnam War Washington DC Peace Protest Painted Hippie Helmet

As a collector we all have those "gotta have it" moments for quality cornerstone pieces. This piece discovered in Washington DC hidden below a camouflage covering, is such a piece. An authentic Anti-War Painted Peace Protest Hippie Helmet in RED (first I have come across) with the emotionally charged and very large "NO WAR" on the front. The typical flowers on the side are expected, but the Beatles Yellow Submarine inspired "LOVE" typography on the back is for me, a unique find. This one will have to go in a case. Exciting to have such a find at any point in a collector's life.
