I have seen this in a few helmets before. Is it from bad steel used, poor storage or just 60+ years of age? untitled.jpg (19.92 KB, 260 downloads)

Does such rippling affect value at all? Or don't collectors care about such ''damage'' / ''wear''? {I mean on original helmets, not on the fake shown here.}
