    Be careful I didn't say yours was real, I was just pointing out they do exist..........I would wait for others, I'm not going to comment on what I am unsure of

    As John pointed out...there are 4 known to exist outof 30 million. The chances that it is real is very low.

    But I am not qualified by any measure to pass judgement. (However the paint is different than the ones highlighted in the other thread (which I remember well )

    Wait for other members (like DougB, etc.) who are the foremost experts.

    Best to wait for Doug who is one of the few who have physically handled these mirrored types.

    Sorry this is a known fake reverse Pocher rune and a fake party decal on an incorrectly painted helmet and wrong shell type. The real ones are a different shell, different color, different strap, Austrian reversed rune, and elongated Austrian police/party decal. This is one of the ones that copies the one I own which is the only published ones in Kellys book. I have seen similar fakes like this one before. Common for fakers to reference a rare helmet out of a book and try to cash in. Your friend should try and get a refund.

    There are actually 3 known to exist, 1 in a museum in Eastern Europe, one in the thread John mentions here and 1 in my collection. I have heard of another in poor condition but never seen it.
