**panzer1** · 08-12-2009, 04:55 PM

I have been offered these 2 camo helmets from a guy who came in to see me.I've managed to get them until the weekend so i can get opinions on them,if they are any good i'll have them,if not i'm gonna break the bad news to him(gently) as he thinks they are ok,but i want to make sure as i am trying to weed out the rubbish from my collection not add to it.What worried me on the D/decal helmet is the blue paint under the camo!!.Am i right to have my suspicions.......Thanks Rob

The liner in the first helmet doesn`t look original.

Have to say I don´t like what I see at all. The tears in the paint along the decal look too white to me.

Sorry but both helmets are bad. The paint and decals are post war.

I suspect these originally came from the same source (artist) that the ones Ewan was offered a while back.

Cheers, Ade.

Well i had my doubts and i'm glad i've shown them so i'll give them a wide berth.Thanks for the advice.......Cheers Rob

Makes me wonder if Pawel Nowak got a paint brush for Xmas.
