well guys ive just won this on ebay what do ya think original paint or not
Hi, I do not think it original paint. You can also see pitting under the paint. I think it is a modern repaint, don't you?? it looks fairly obvious to me. How much did you pay? if you do not mind telling.

repainted relic , rgds Dave
thanks guys i kinda knew it was but just had to double check so when it gets here i can start to think about stripping it & Steve i paid £53 for it which to me for this type of helmet is a very good price
Hi Nick, OK, sounds like a fair price. It will look better when you strip that whatever it is called of it. Good luck, post pics when you are done. Regards, Steve
Fraid knot !
The black lines between the camo are too uniform and untextured ..
Sorry ..

Hi Nick,
That may make a nice helmet when you get that crap off it,
It,s a shame that people put new paint on them as it detracts
the real history of the piece. Are you going to restore it ? it would make a great display when and if you do. well done on that one.

hiya Dave
im certainly going to look to remove the new paint but i need to have a good look at it first before doing anything to it to asses the condition its in to see how far i need to take it
