    The camo looks artificially aged to me.

    Cheers,

    Decal over the camo????

    Agree with Terry as well on the aging.

    And why is the wear on the decal so much worse then the helmet?

    Not for me.

    Looking at this from a cell phone and old eyes so my comments are to be taken with this understanding
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Too much going on with this helmet. Don't know what the "wear" is on the interior skirt. The damage/wear on the decal...Too much "action". The damage to the decal is not from normal battle wear. Possibly liberated or cleaned or some other unnatural happening. I would pass.

    Investing in a camo, find a "one looker". So far there are three negatives on this. Probably more to follow.

    David is right. Camo's are almost always open to debate...but you know when you see a no questions asked example. Never have to second guess yourself when it is sitting on the shelf

    I agree with all the above, paint looks somewhat artificial, lacks wear and has no age to it IMO.
    The decal (if original) looks peculiar, it has that 'dug out' look but seems to sit on top of the camo paint.

    Well the OP is doing the right thing. Having it checked before buying it. It's difficult finding a real one. Anyone can scream "FAKE"...that's easy. The person who says it is good, well now he has to explain why. That is not easy.

    We can sit & scrutinize this helmet for hours, which is exactly what one does NOT want to see & hear if investing in a camo helmet.

    Again, I agree in multiple levels. Always post AND if you answer... provide a rational as to why.

    Nothing more frustrating when your trying to learn than to be told it is good or bad but no reason as to why...

    Grates on me....
