    Hello James
    I may be totally wrong, but do I detect rust pitting under the paint?

    Regards

    Hi Gents,
    I have also seen this helmet on auction - IMO I don't think the camo is original, it seems to be a semi relic shell that has been painted and aged. The camo paint is in the pitted areas and damaged parts of the helmet meaning it was applied after this occured, the rear skirt edge is also eroded and seems to have paint on it. Not keen on the liner either, looks like an aged repro M18 liner, cheers, Chris.

    thanks for your opinions guys ,i guess its hard to tell from the provided pics but i do agree the missing rusted areas do look to have paint remenants on them the hole in the crown highlights this the most as if painted at a later date

    To me, anyway, it's a quick call. The deeper rust pits on the top look like they have been painted over. As the others said above, I think this is a repainted relic.

    I agree--the rust has been painted over.

    I also agree, paint job faked to enhance value...sadly destroying its originality !
    Prost ! Steve.
