Hello , much better photos needed. These are way too small.
Also maker and lot number can say a lot already.
But if you have it and don't know yourself it is good that says a lot

I acquired this helmet very recently as it looked good to me. By no mean I am an expert as you guys are and I just wanted to have you opinion on it. I'll try to post bigger pictures

I cannot blow it up further... is the size big enough?

On my phone, but I will go out on a limb and say that it has a chance. I can't see the Maker/size stamp clearly but it looks like a Q and the decal may be good. Waiting for better pictures and the opportunity to see them on a computer. Jim G.

Jim, a million of thanks for your answer, I really appreciate... yes, I know it is hard to read but I could dechifer Q64 and serial number 1479. Hope this help... thanks again

DOn't know if it helps, but please find a close up with direct sun light

For me it is not a good SS decal, paint color is also not correct.

Hello all, Anymore opinion on this helmet? I understand the pictures do not do justice to the actual color... Should you need more pictures, under sun light, flash, I'll be happy to post them... What about the chicken wire construction? period like? New? Liner? authentic/fake? I would love to get your point of view on this one... Have a great day all
