It starts with the paint color which is all wrong and an eagle that flew away without a trace. End of story.
But I'm sure you'll be happy with it either way as was so often the case when fakes in your collection were pointed out to you.

My apoligies guys, especially to Talltom and Schwerpunkt, for thinking this forum was for discussion and to learn, instead a lot of cynical remarks from some but fortunately not all members.
Please bear in mind that many members have already collected items BEFORE they discovered the forum. This of course is not ideal and then comes the sometimes unpleasant task of posting items for opinions and hearing potential bad news.
Cheers, Ade.

Ade thank you, you've hit the nail on the head. I guess it takes all kinds so the minority of members who criticise me with no idea of the facts will just be ignored for their lack of understanding and narrowmindedness.
I really only post items of my collection that I'm unsure of hoping for more learned opinions.
Regards Brad.
ps, I might add all of these items were obtained ten, fifteen even twenty years ago, unfortunately we did not have recourse to sites like this back then.

Yes reichss, but you could also experiment with showing a little understanding for the people whom might criticize you. All sorts of people here post less than desirable items for not so nice reasons. That makes some people a little edgy. Not that i have been one of them, but i sure understand them. This is just how it is sometimes on forums. This forum though, has by far the best politeness among members, so take it easy my friend. Nuff said.
I thought that the thread started with the representation that this helmet was "recently purchased" ...Or was it from a French Uncle? Sorry, but the provenance of several of the helmets related in these threads has been, how does one put it delicately - somewhat fluid. It would be easier for some members to be less blunt if the posts were more forthright. Just an observation from someone with no dog in the fight.
