These winter type helmets are a minefield as for finding originals. There are plenty of experts here that can help more than I.

I like it's look

No expert but apart from the cross there's the odd looking wear on the rim. Looks more chipped than time worn. Now maybe that's a feature of the paint used. The liner rivets seem loose too.

Yes, the wear to the rim I do not like.. The loosened rivets aren't necessarily a helmet-killer IMO..

Here is what I am concerned about, note the pattern of 'ups and downs'..

I agree - I have this helmet listed on another forum and that is the same concern for them - the forced wear on the rim -

This wear pattern is repeated elsewhere on this helmet, I would steer away from this one,

Seems your getting some mixed results? Anyhow, more photos will clear this up for good I imagine!

I love these helmets, and I hate them, too. They can be so difficult to determine authenticity. I defer to Doug's experience. If he says stay away, I would take that advice.
