First impression, I get a false vibe with these pics.
Am I the only one seeing a hype of M38 FJ helmets?
IMO looks falsely aged. Like they put it in a fish tank or something. Can I ask where it's coming from? Craigslist? eBay?
From the top pic i get the impression the edge looks uneven. A bit like the fake "electro" relic.I am sure Krad remember that lid. Maybe it's just the pic.
Get better pics mate.

If it were authentic, I'd expect the liner to match condition (corrosion) of the outside of the helmet shell. The liner looks dark... but mint otherwise!
I'd walk just based on those pics alone. That much pitting on a helmet with a completely intact liner system??? No way, man. I'd be a monkeys uncle if that were authentic.
I hope you aren't considering a purchase based only on these photos...that's asking for trouble, in my opinion friend...
from a well known auction house
It looks artificially aged to me, the liner has no real wear and tear, the rubber pads are too clean and show no signs of rubber deterioration, plus all of the leather has the same colouration, far too dark, match this with the exterior of the helmet and you can see the ageing that has been attempted
Agree with everyone else, this has about as much chance of being original as I have of becoming leader of the free world!

Whatever its just an opinion.
