Hi Nick,
I've notice now that the seller has owned up as of Today (28 th) and revised the listing to state that's its a repro

Funny that after you highlighted the fact on here

This is the problem with Ebay, you sell something in good faith, and then some enterprising so and so decides to sell the item on as genuine although they now full well its a reproduction.

Hi there, The reason he revised was because I told him lol i posted it up on walhalla.se and they all told me it was fake and then they gave me the link to this thread lol so yeah my email telling him the helmet was faked made him take it down from £150 to £50 and I swooped in for the kill and bought it! Tis a nice looking and helmet

It wouldn't fool many, but it was a good call, about time some of these morons got their ar*** kicked into shape

[HerrPetomer]

Yeah, quite lucky i posted it on walalla and had it checked by the guy there! lucky the link from this thread was posted to! Had to let the guy know that he isnt fooling us!

& also i did send him a timely reminder when i saw it that i once owned it & that he bought it from me also that yes it was a replica atleast he listen & changed it all before some poor fool fell for it
