Obviously a bit like buses on these then as another sold on the bay a few days back.
Did anyone here get it? I was watching it but did not bid as I had my eyes on a cap, a shame really as it went for a good price.

Whatever its just an opinion.
I didn't have a good feeling about it, & I think the end price reflected that (£180). Whereas it should have gone for about £400-600.
It reminded me about the one that James had, I wonder if it was the same seller?
Beginning to get paranoia setting in,a bit like you German helmet collectors have been suffering for years.
Hi Aaron I completely agree there is something not right with this Malta camo I as well was watching it and had to stop my self from bidding a couple of times it did not feel right.

Agree it doesn't push the buttons for me. I would like one of these.
A shame to see serious attempts at faking such as this, if that is the case, within the area of collecting MKII lids.

Ist and 2nd pic down, isn't there signs of paint stripper residue on the paint? Looks that way to me. Also, why is the paint not cracked anywhere around the rim safety edge of the helmet? 70 odd years that's been knocking about, and not so much as a hairline crack or chip?
