Black paint iside a ss helmet

[robbyamanda]

good morning some help please just bought a Q64 lot 4691 black m35 ss with double decal party shield and a poacher white from a dealer in Normandy but the inside is painted black i am shore i have read on the site that black helmets are never black inside ,just looking at this one there is no other colour below the black and the liner is a leather liner with four leaves with pouches in the back for small cushions of straw and no metal just leather looks like a m16 but has 4 leaves please look at photos

Can you get a refund? The only thing that is real is the shell. Jim

I agree with Jim.

Nothing good here

Oh dear, Did the dealer guarantee this as original? Hope you get your money back. Regards Paul

Can you tell me why thats why we ask the experts to explain why,the decals have been looked at through a microscope and they are not printed and if you look at a decal thats printed you can see the dots from the printing these decals dont have dots so why are these fake please explain i will know what to look for in the future.

Robby do not take it personal ..and you are not the target ...the helmet is the topic and what has been said in description you are taking out of context. Relax a little...there will be more comments to come in regards to the decals.

The helmet Gents here do realize your question was about the paint inside ...but with anything that is posted here..the whole artifact has to be examined and not just one area...because other areas do make a difference in authentication which all adds up.

Doug Buhler was a memeber here many years ago and is no longer here which there are some remnants of his threads somewhere ,,,now the Helmet Gents here will help make a determination on the decals as well.

For myself ..I would want the whole truth even if its something that I was not asking about but for those who have a keener insight into those details...because these helmets can make or break a collector.

Wait for for further replies.

Regards Larry

While we an only derive so much from photos, I still do not like the "Q" Style decal.

Primarily I can see no pulver nor can I see what should be a darker black boarder around the edges of the runes.

Here are some for reference
