This one looks bad to me, the Salford pals are a group of sellers, I have messaged them before regarding a bad helmet they had for sale, they messaged me back explaining they were a group and removed The listing. Maybe worth expressing your feelings to the seller. It is strange how they always sell their items at nearly double the standard rate , most of their items look good . Not this one though.

Not one I would want. It is bound to sell, though.
E-bay is stuffed with un-educated buyers

One picture is enough to see how bad this one is.
In the last week or two they have done quite well with flashed helmets, so expect to see more bad ones coming soon.

Interesting information thanks. A group would explain how they manage to source so many items. And yes, amazing that there seem to be so many buyers willing to pay a premium for this stuff - often well over the going rate.

Also, I still don't understand why people are willing to pay so much for almost anything branded as "8th Army".

'Twas ever thus.....
When I was 9 years old - in the mid-1960s - I and a group of friends were thrilled to find a 'WWII British Helmet' in a neighbour's back garden. I still remember the older brother of one of my friends ( he was 13 at the time ) looking at it and declaring - in a tone of great wisdom and superiority - 'Definitely 8th Army...'
( It was of course a civilian-type helmet... )

-
WOW....... this helmet just keeps turning up..... I saw it fail to sell on ebay...then turned up at an auction in Devon....and now is back on ebay with amazing bidding this time!!!!!
