    Are those white smudge marks inside the liner?

    repro chin strap so the rest of it would come into question !!

    Good eye Nick, the chin strap looked pretty minty to me too but I'm not quite seasoned enough to call it if they are repo or not. To me, any helmet that was actually painted up for winter use would show at least a moderate amount of wear and is why I called to question of these are white paint smudges in the liner, as if so, then it would be obvious they were painted at the same time and that liner does not appear to have seen much field time, if any at all.

    Too much olive drab on the bales for 70 years old?so repaint first then as nick stated repro chinstraps added,give it a miss unless its really cheap and thats only for the liner!!!!!minnie.

    Just looked again and the close-up photo of the bale, you can see the re-paint.

    It appears this one may have more issues than Lindsay Lohann, I would leave it unless it was really cheap.
