Snow camo helmet - authentic?? Please help!

[anton67]

Hello,
I was offered this snow camo helmet.
I want to know if it is authentic?
Also, if so, what is a reasonable price range?
Thank you in advance

Forget about the first photo.
It is an old cannon from a local VFW.
Sorry about that.
Anyway, thoughts on the helmet?

Can't help on the originality of the paint but if real I love the fingerprint!

Good luck!

Looks like a repainted helmet and aged up and for the price it's really up to you but personally I wouldn't go to to much.

The close up of the white reminds me of this crazy M-1 I am in possession of. It has two white boxes on either side and a heart on the front. I don't think the paint is period on the M-1... And to be honest I am not really digging it on this helmet either. Although I am not confident calling camos in hand, much less over pictures. This one just doesn't give me the "warm and fuzzies".

Here's my 2 cents. The wear looks contrived and the rust appears fresh.

Thank you guys.
Perhaps I should pass.

and the rust appears fresh.

Especially in the 4th from last pic - as if a razor
blade was used to scrape the paint off.........

Hi, not one for me mate, does not look like natural wear at all, those great big chunks of missing paint revealing the "untouched" original surface underneath is a huge red flag for me. Also the rim appears to have been "cleaned off" while the paint was still wet (hence the finger print) with a cloth or alike, again the surface paint is clean and untouched and the "wear" lines are to sharp and distinct.

Personally I would easily walk by this helmet.
