    Junk. Walk on by....

    Fake liner and chin strap. Shell might be real ( can't make out the maker marks on the rear inside skirt ) but the shape of the shell looks weird ....maybe the angle.

    But even if the shell is real...it's been repainted....a number of times (and the painted on insignia is fantasy). As a beginner, an immediate red flag in this helmet is the painted interior.

    I must agree with MAP the liner and chin strap are bad that alone would make me steer clear of it.

    As stated above - this one is bad to the bone. Unfortunately whatever collectibility and history that it had is now long gone.

    Yeah fake liner and chin strap, the shell is a beat up M42 made by hkp. Has a big old dent in the back, too.
