Looks like a good one and not that bad aprice . Leon i wouldn't worry about the round , not necessarily a low calibre the round could have just about been spent when it impacted and rounds could be coming in from all directions !!

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
The camo looks good to me.
Liner looks good also.
But I would get close-ups of the rivets from the sides
I would also say post-war hit.
That website is really really pricey .
I have seen them trying to sell helmets 4 times the market value.

Thanks guys,i'm "mulling"it over,it is a nice looking helmet,i just don't want to upset the wife,she wants a new rug!! Leon.
Helol! there is no picture of the top. On the first picture, it's seems there is a hit on the top.
It could be a legit one, but I would like to see better pics before I would commit my opinion as to it's originality, but that's just me.
I tend to view most of the stuff from Regimentals with a healthy deal of scepticism I'm afraid.

Hi,they certainly do not look brass to me,more like zinc's.I can see the worries over the pins,i like to see a lack of paint on "cammo" pins as that should be the first area to fail,but I would expect to see at least a bit of the original base paint on the heads(especially the rear rivet!)? I like it i'm 95% sure all components are original,i.e. as they were put together and then the cammo added,but the 5% still asks questions over the parts adding up to the sum!! Leon.
I too am slightly concerned re the total lack of original paint on the pins , also regimentals are well known for being pricey which also concerns me re the comparatively low price of a named 'original' camo m40 ,i am worried that the liner and pins may not be original to the helmet,an in hand inspection is,i n my opinion a necessary action prior to purchase
I am with Dave.
