The helmet shell does not have the extra strap/snap on it's chinstrap. The liner is not an airborne liner. Added insignia (sadly) are so convincingly faked and aged these days I feel it's not an original paratrooper helmet.
Thanks for your input Denred. The 81st Anti Aircraft bat. was infantry trained and did not necessarily jumped out of airplanes. The arrived by boat during/after D-DAY. I already have seen 81st helmets with infantry type helmets/chinstraps/liners. One example is featured in Michel de Trez's American Paratrooper Helmets book.
No many replies, that will simply be because paint jobs like this are a tough call to make if there good or bad.
Its a bit of money for this one with no providence.
Personally I wouldn't want to play with your money.
Hope someone can help
Rod
Thank you Rod, too bad there is no providence indeed !
