Evening gents, I know nothing about this type of helmet, but even I suspect this to be a relatively modern paint job and not original. Am I right or just over sceptical? Thanks for your help. Leon.

I can't help with this one Leon but I know that member anton67 just picked one of these up and he might be the one who would know these better.
Here is his post
Arvn ranger helmet
Good luck

Leon, I know you have researched these helmets and I know that you know what to look for in a fake helmet. Did you buy it, or just thinking about buying it? At the moment without better picture I say no, it is just another fake of a hard to find helmet.

My possible AVRN helmet. When posted before Phil thought it may be an early advisors helmet. I do not get my hopes up for any AVRN helmet. But I do like them.

Hi Marty, I only know about what to look out for on Third Reich helmets or general wear patterns and patina on allied helmets from WW2. ARVN helmets are a mystery to me as I have never seen any guaranteed genuine examples in hand. I have not bought this one, I just saw it and wondered if it stood a chance. Any thoughts are appreciated. Leon.
