Re: M40 Snow Camo
The shell is pushing all the right buttons for me - just a little worried over the liner. The wear seems unnatural - not enough edge rubbing or "pulling" of the leather tongues - you know, the holes go oval & the stretching is usually more noticeable. ...could be a chemical ageing???

Re: M40 Snow Camo
I really can't see anything that ould suggest snow camo.... I ould hav thought there would hav been a lot of remaining white wash around the rivets.....this lid looks like it has been stripped with something

Re: M40 Snow Camo
I believe it is.
There is no reason a decal woul be applied over the camo paint and I also have reservations about the liner.

Re: M40 Snow Camo
I am far from a helmet expert, and shall leave the authenticity of the piece to those who are much more learned in this area, however, when I observed the eyelets in the liner, I noticed that they appear to have been pushed in by something, i.e. a pencil or screwdriver for example, in an attempt to age the hole. As Dan says above, they are also rather circular in appearance, and show no signs of being distorted in the direction that one would expect. Not to mention that the rim of the liner certainly doesn't match the wear of the shell.

Very good observations Carl, especially on the liner eyelets.

Re: M40 Snow Camo
Well I am too scared to keep so controversial a helmet; therefore, I will return it. Thanks for pointing out some of these things guys, if anybody else has anything they would like to add please feel free to share your opinions.

Re: M40 Snow Camo
Hello Corey,
I actually did not wanted to comment on this helmet, because most issues have been covered, But... When i looked at pic #2 from the top "something" got my attention concerning the rivet. Just looks odd. Held up against what the other guys have said about the liner, something tells me i was right, and the eyelets definitely looks like they have been pierced. Wear and line does not add up. All this have been said of course.
Regards, Lars
