Re: Camo ND from Italy
After 65 years and there ain't barely a single scratch on it? I'm no expert, but personally I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Liner looks like it's seen not much wear too, and what it does appears to be applied by a brush very sloppily (note splatter of same shade as 'sweat staining'). I'd go as far to say that it was painted last week, it's that unconvincing to me, better wait for the big fish to chime in though.
Addendum: the paint appears to be oil based, some applied by palette knife and not a brush.
Regards, Ned.

Re: Camo ND from Italy
I'm definately no expert on this, but im going to have to agree wtih ned. The paint to me looks far too recent for my liking. I also dont like the looks of the liner.

Re: Camo ND from Italy
Judging by the paint work around the securing pins id say that the helmet was repainted then the liner replaced and then paint was applied to the pins, plus theres no natural damage to the paint work, also the aluminium liner retaining pins appear to have no grime or age to them, i cant say id be happy about this one IMO
