    What are your observations?

    No pics of the liner or is there not one?

    Shell looks original . I think it is an EF. Although the font is slightly different but could be due to the white greese pencil

    What is the lot #? Is it 1760? If so, whether it is an EF or ET, this helmet should have a decal. Do you see any evidence of it being scraped off? There are no photos of the right side of the helmet

    The 2nd photo, to me, give the impression of a non standard paint color, but it could just be the photos. Hard to tell.

    Hi, looks like am ex-whitewash that has been scrubbed back to me, there is white remnants of paint around the rivet head as well as in the stampings. There is a very faint outline of where there was a decal, it has been very neatly removed. As said though, the images are not great and is there indeed a liner ? Leon.

    There is something about the paint that just doesn’t look right and I’m not convinced that the paint is 70 plus years old.

    That is a fake Q "Big Foot" decal on an EF helmet. Basic stuff. Really just a little study is needed. Not trying to be a pain in the butt, but would think after all this time and all these helmet questions / threads you would do some research and give your opinions/views when asking for advice. Not saying you have to be correct but that is the way to learn.

    1) Study, 2) form and give your opinions and 3) post for help. Simple

    OK. Now I'm really confused. Something didn't sit right. So did a bit of digging.

    You already posted this helmet last year. So was it just found??
