hi, by wear patterns can you explain what you mean? cheers
Hi again,
Where I have circled the spots on the helmet, it looks to me like sanding swirls and striations.
These sort of marks are just a huge red flag for me. You have the helmet in your hands, have a good close look at it and see if in all honesty you can see what looks like sanding marks.
Perhaps I am wrong, and for your sake I wish I was, but to me that is what they look like.
Sorry

i am also on the fence but with many fake things that have been already pointed out i would have to say their is at least an 80 percent chance it is a fake
I'll get him to get some decent photos in the natural light tomorrow. We are aware that the liner has been replaced. We believed it was a more modern repaint until we saw a similar camo job in a book on normandy. Will try and dig it out and pop a scan of it up.
The problem is Vicky many fakers / reenactors etc will copy a camo they see in books , my feeling with this one is that is a reeanactors helmet.

Natural light is not good for evaluating camouflage. The best way to capture camo paint is in a well lit room with the flash turned off. Most digital cameras have a macro setting, which would help as well.
