couple of South African helmets
couple of South African helmets
The one with the flash, have you just bought this one off ebay?
I note both have post war Israeli chin straps.
Yes, is it a bad one?
We have talked about this one on, thoughts on this helmet real or fake.
The seller is known for selling unit marked helmets, & camo's, they have all been fake so far, as I think yours is.
Two very bad helmets.
Looks like collecting British helmets is at the level collecting German helmets was back in the 80's !
Hi busman, as Aaron has said, we talked about this flashed helmet and the seller here a few weeks ago. It is very suspicious that the seller "reg" seems to have an endless supply of high end unit marked helmets and cammo's. Apart from the later chinstrap on this one I personally found it odd that the edges of the flash have repetitive "chipping/tool marks" and yet the surrounding cammo does not? Also there is no sign that the net was on this helmet for any period of time as there is no transference of wear from it. Putting these things together with "reg's" knack for "finding" and selling very desirable helmets, I personally feel that most of the helmets he has sold are not correct period pieces. Sorry, Leon.
Hopefully people like reg will get the message when these helmets get returned.
A small victory is better than none.
Hopefully these can be returned for a full refund from the seller.
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever its just an opinion.
Helmet returned, full refund given.
