    First of all you need to establish if it is a genuine helmet. Difficult to tell from these photographs, but I have serious doubts about it. Better photographs required to be sure, and a frontal shot of the 'dip' in the rim - if there is one - would help too.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    I agree with Steve. I have serious doubts on the whole helmet as well.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    On my phone it looks like zig zag stitching on the liner seam. If so, proof positive it's a fake. In any case, I too question its authenticity. Jim G.

    I hope these photographs help a bit more thanks for the help. The manufacturer code and size stamp are barely visible so I tried my best there.M38 PreservationM38 PreservationM38 PreservationM38 PreservationM38 PreservationM38 Preservation

    A Chinese fake. I hope you didn't pay much!
