Camo's are tough to authenticate from photos. But from what I can see, I like it

I like the exterior very much as I can see traces of the decal there which for me personally is one of the boxes that needs to be ticked when looking at camo helmets that are within decals range. Wear and so on also looks good to me.

The leather although original looks a bit clean and unused if you look at the sum of the parts.

I like the camo that begins this thread but its liner wear does not seem to be commensurate with the exterior. Changed out by someone postwar? Shell is believable nevertheless.

I too like the outside for wear and patina but also wonder if the leather has been cleaned. Even if the wearer did not use hair cream ( pomade ) the sweat and grime from weeks of unwashed field action would surely have left its permanent mark. Maybe it has been carefully cleaned or more likely swapped out for a better one in the ensuing 70 years of its life?

All said, it is a nice representative example of a winter cammo helmet IMO.

Hi Felix, I like what I see when it comes to the winter cammo, very nice, the liner does appear a touch to clean in comparison but it may all be correct, in hand it may all sit perfectly. Leon.
