Re: M40 Camo Full-Basket Wire
There are no wear marks on the edges of the helmet where the wire wraps around the edges. Nor are there any wire wear marks on the body of the helmet. Zinc coated wire still rusts. The wire is new. The helmet appears to have been vacume bagged. Dust applied to helmet and wiped away in the openings.
Sorry

Re: M40 Camo Full-Basket Wire
The wire looks bad to me too. Real wire would be worn at the bottom, and it would fit more loosely, so that camoflauge could be stuffed under it.

Re: M40 Camo Full-Basket Wire
I actually like it, does anyone remember the deriding that 'Jim in Ohio' got for his wire covered helmet? Nearly everyone who commented was wrong. I'll stick my neck out for it, the white rust is atypical for quality wire of this period.

Re: M40 Camo Full-Basket Wire
I love you Ned! I don't think you're sticking your neck out either.
Thanks, Max

Re: M40 Camo Full-Basket Wire
I think that again the pictures are too poor to make an evaluation. I don't see the overpaint you are talking about , it looks like the factory paint to me , in that case the decal must be there.
