Beautiful example Jake, I really like the Mitchell cover which look's period and the rips seem to line up with rim of the shell, freaky coincidence that it's got Jake on the liner!!

Another classic "nam" piece buddy, well done for picking this one up

No worries Jake, it is hard to tell if a helmet is indeed a "put together", but I like the look of this one, so can see why you wanted to add it to your collection
