Do you mean to say the paint over pitting is on the second "helmet" or the second "photos".
From these photos I can't see anything to say one way or the other. But if your friend does see paint over pitting then you should definitely send it back. Especially if as you say the split pins are repro.
Just goes to show that relics with decals or camo are more of a minefield and harder to authenticate than standard helmets and why I advise people to stay far away from them.

From the photos you posted I don’t see any paint in the pitting and also I wouldn’t say that the liner band belongs to this helmet either, it’s been sprayed with a lacquer or clear coat of some sort to preserve it and I’d say the liner was added to the helmet after. Also I agree with what map has said, relics can be a real minefield and with the prices people want for them these days it’s a better investment to save that few hundred dollars and buy a nice original good condition helmet.

So you’ve had this helmet in hand? You wrote “When I get my hands back on this helmet“.
Did you notice any paint over pitting when you first had your hands on it??
What is your opinion? Can you point out where the paint is over the pitting?
There’s a lot going on with this helmet but you can find the answers if you study some of the older threads.
This is the only way you will learn.

I found the original thread sorry I didn’t look in the relic section

Yes there is my friend has this helmet currently but am getting my hands back on it on the weekend in the second photo there’s an area in which if you see it in person there’s paint in a little divit in the helmet. I’ve learned that b and c split pins were common reproduction if a forum a little while ago. After my friend notified me about it I didn’t believe it so I tried to sell it then the buyer noticed sn issue with the paint so I had a further look and found it I’ll post better photos soon

Opinions I need them I’m trying to sell off my collection?

I don't think there is much more to say until there are better photos. These are inconclusive

Yep I’m in possession of it tonight. As another person has stated it seems like I’ve lost all my credibility on the helmet side mostly everywhere. Was this all from the ss forum months ago? And me trying to move away from the helmet collecting? With that I’m selling all my helmets which I bought now. Have a happy new year
