All original, correct and unissued BUT poorly stored.
thank you all! Is this helmet rare? Where is the white color on it?
Didn’t notice white paint!? Thought it was mold or oxidation. You have an advantage of it being in hand. If it was painted white it’s great devalued
Looks like a white wash to me.
