Your opinion on M-18 Ear cutout helmet please

[Meme32]

Dear Members of the forum

A friend of mine is asking my opinion on this M-18.
As I am fully ignorant about these helmets; I thought the forum might be the best place to get valuable opinions.

Many thanks

Kind regards

It looks fine to me, certainly not the usual howler fake shell.

I am not convinced. You need better pictures. One straight on and one from the side with the piece on the table and not on a stand. I don't see the flare at the apex of the cut outs and I also don't see the ET 64 stamp on the apron. Pictures of the decals might also shed some light. I have a few and if you want I can post some pix that will show you what you need to see. Jim G.

Had me fooled, my apologies to the poster.

Many thanks all for your comments

Helmet2id, yes it would be very interesting to see some of your helmet, especially the ET 64 Marking.

Many thanks

Kind regards

The proportions of the shell are all wrong. Transition from dome to front visor too steep to start with.

Here a bunch in no particular order. Done on my phone so I am not sure how good they are. All of the helmets are currently in storage so I can't take new pictures. Jim G.

Should also have a heating lot number in the dome.
