Please post photographs of the helmet without the camo, as requested above. Hopefully then, somebody can authenticate what might well be a very nice lid.

Regards,

Carl

thank you all so much for your input, i inherited the helmet in the early 90's from my father, he said he got it with 2 others (which i have as well) in the 60's while in high school from a lady friends father, other than that i do not know. Apparently fakes have been around for a long time.

Yes they have i'm afraid !!
