Re: Camo and wire covered M42 ...... legit?
Well the inside certainly doesn't match the heavily weathered exterior.....I'm banking on a post war refurb display piece or re enactor

Not far away with that assessment !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

This is not one for me either,look at the areas where the wire touch the "cammo",there is no wearing down to the paint at all.The cammo itself also has "chips"in areas that should have been protected by the wire basket!! Also the skirt has rust all along the edge and yet if the basket were on this helmet to start with it would have again given it more protection from being picked up and put down.As the others have said,this is a post war re-furb!

Repro liner postwar wire and camo. If real a helmet would sell for close to $8k in an auction, or more. A similar one with veteran provenance and 110% real sold in auction for $12k last year if the Swiss cheese brain of mine remembers correctly. Also I suspect the personalization is bogus as well.
