    Hi guys, I have already gotten an opinion on this helmet, that being it is a fake but I wanted to get some other opinions before I decide to restore it to it’s original configuration, for proper display. I will include detailed photos for all of you thank you so much!

    All tarted up to me. Looks like a fake decal, liner and I think chinstrap.

    Will defer comment on the camo as I'm on a cell phone but given the other issues, it's most certainly bad as well
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Hi, you are spot on my friend, it is indeed a completely re-worked shell. Fake decal and paint job, heavy "tool marks" all over to try and give it an aged look. It is fine for a re-enactor, but that is about it. Leon.

    I guess that Fallshirmjager (Leon) will have a field day with this one. Repetitive scratch marks and so on...


    'Update...' You must have pressed the button before I did Leon!
