M42 camo in classifieds

**MAP** · 06-14-2015, 02:52 PM

There is a M42 camo up for sale in the classifieds. Given that these are are highly faked, I thought it would be wise to vet the helmet and have some of our more experienced members opine.

From the pictures, I do have some questions on the pattern of wear but have not been able to properly study from a PC. Only from a cell phone which is quite useless.

I myself would be interested in this lid if it is deemed original but am posting this more for everyone else.

M42 Wehrmacht Camo helmet - Militaria Collectibles buy - sell at War Relics

If someone can post the pictures in this thread that would be great. I can't from my phone.

Regards

Michael

Thanks G. I have asked for additional macro pictures of top, rim wear, split pins and vent holes as well.

There are many things that give me pause with this helmet, and the price is indeed an indicator, but I want to give it a fair shot based on the helmet itself.

I have my own concerns and reservations but thought I would open it up for proper discussion
