Its convincing, the liner looks freyed like a fairley new one though! and the decals look a little scorched. But its difficult to say. Im on the fence over it, over to the experts...
Reg
to me the decals look freshly scuffed up they dont really look to have any age to them compared to the rest of the helmet but that may be the lighting ??????
Sorry, but this is a total and utter fake. Not a single part is original.
A little tip: note the "footed" number 1 in the size stamp on the helmet shell. Never seen on originals.
Cheers, Ade.
Thanks a lot,
cheers
they did a bad job on aging the decals
To help you a little more. Here is a pic of an original FJ helmet liner and chinstraps from a helmet in my collection. As you can now see, there is no comparison with an original.
Cheers, Ade.
yes agree fake look at the rim from the shell

These as everyone know are widely faked. The problem for the average collector is that there are very few originals to compare with.
Not like the standard ground troop helmet by any branch there are a wide range of examples to hold and inspect for clarification of originality where as for the FJ helmet one must rely on good pictures and the very few originals to compare.
I have seen total fake FJ's sold for thousands of dollars. It's always wise to check here to be certain.
