Re: Yes or No
Very convincing..but fake paint job. Very scary. Someday this will be aging in a collection as an original

If carbon dating does not become more accurate, I see hard times on the horizon.

Re: Yes or No
Come on guys if it's a fake paint job tell us why it is ? Let's have something to back up your opinions !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Re: Yes or No
No offence guys, but this is starting to become a bit like the other forum with monosyllabic answers. Please if you have "yes it's good" or "no it's bad" answer explain to the original poster why your giving the answer, otherwise he/she doesn't really learn.
Cheers,
Grant

Re: Yes or No
how do you tell fake camo painted ten years ago and not a period camo paint application?

Re: Yes or No
Fine , for me sometimes i just get a gut feeling about an object , yes iv been wrong before and will be in the future no doubt , this helmet has a few things i just dont feel right with , first the area around the liner pins doesnt apair to have much in the way or wear going by these pics , close up ones would help , the paint although looking very old doesnt appear to have any cracking at all , the area around vents , the brown paint seems a little to much and new looking , these are my thoughts based on these pics , clear close up photos are needed to get a better finding on this helmet i feel . cheers Raymond
