Hi all- found this helmet for sale and I'm not sure if it's the genuine article. I know these are faked SO much so I honestly won't be surprised if it's not right. Any info appreciated!

Hi Robbie,
You will need to take a nice close up and clear shot of the decal.
regards
Samir
As samir has said very hard to tell from those pics, and i've seen this helmet somewhere before, do you mind if i ask who's selling it?
REgards Phill
I've PM'd you Phil - and I've asked the seller for a closer picture of the decal. Hope it makes it easier to decide about this helmet!

Got ya PM Bud,wait and see if you get better pics, and thanks Jason, i saw that but i don't think it's the seller where i've seen it before?
and the price seems a little odd, Don't rush in there Robbie, go with ya gut feeling and wait for more opinions.
Phill
Yep dont rush with that price, they come up now and then. Suppose it depends on if its real now
Yep they do come up now and again,
robbie i would say that holes from a pickaxe not a bullet... but better pictures are definatly needed of the decal
I'm always suspicious when a seller cannot take any close up / straight on shots of the only important part of a helmet , the decal !! Wonder why the time waster sent it back ??

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
