That was a question I was going to ask in the near future 'what books' so thank you for that information. I have seen that book online but it's time soon to stock up. I have a few but need more.
One of my camos has turned mauve under direct sunlight and it has nothing to do with reflection but if you look at it indoors it looks a dirty brown which I don't doubt was its original colour. Has to do with whoever is painting and what they do with the paint particularly if a primary colour has been added too, in this case the absorption of light has changed a colour.

You obviously want to believe in it. "most paints won't sheen if it's not handled". For goodness sake, it's a 100 year helmet that you have no idea where it's been or how many hands have handled it, despite the sales story. Retaining a healthy skepticism in this hobby is essential to avoid costly purchase mistakes. Good luck!, there are some good painters out there.

And I explained whom owned it previously and no it wasn't a sales pitch whether you believe it or not. And I also said I wasn't talking myself into it whether you believe that or not. It's only when I stated conjecture that you didn't believe. I don't have hobbies I have passions as I do this for a living.....collecting that is.
Yes I welcome your opinion but equally mine should be valued.

It appears to me that the liner has been removed and reinstalled on this helmet, the rear area by the pin show scratches from the band, also the rear pin is not the correct "Thick" headed type. Not sure about the chin strap post on AH helmets, but the only time I've seen post like these on a German they were fake. Compare the post on this helmet to the one in the last photo in the set, they're not the same construction.

Hmm looks like a replaced liner unusual wear strange colours not one I would buy. Rob
