I cannot recommend any sellers.
The helmet shown looks OK. The paint on the top looks in better condition than the rest of the helmet. This may have been due to it being stacked for long term storage one on top of the other. (Just confirm this is the case with the seller and that the top is not repainted or anything.)
Cheers, Ade.

Hi, It's hard to tell wether it is the MkIII nut & bolt, or the civilian type one,although the nut looks correct. This helmet is the raw edge BMB one, so think this was not for military use. As for the paint on the other one, the paint looks a different colour inside to outside, so who knows? could just be the light.
