This helmet is not original
Decal looks like a round bottom fake but better photos would help

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

My sentiments exactly Paul. If you look at the decal in the larger picture you can see quite clearly where it has been scratched off in particular places. The bottom being one part. The decal, of course, is not in keeping with the rest of the helmet. and appears to have been scratched to deceive the novice.....................JMO

Knowing the lotnr and maker would help prove the decal is fake.
But I agree with John , looks like the round bottom fake.
Funny how the inside of the helmet and the liner pictures are clear enough,
and the photos of the decal are out of focus ! The 'macro' setting on the
camera should have been used to show the decals too!

Thanks for the commends but there is a Attached Images of the decal below the pictures.
Pls take a look of that.
Infocus decal photos are required mate... Thats all they mean. Its very important to have these if you want a 100% answer
