For some having a round bottom is an advantage but not in this case i'm afraid !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
many thanks
Helmet vents looks fake to begin with.
i had a concern , glad to have better opinions
cheers
Agree with Andy, the shell is a Chinese copy fake so it goes without saying the decals are totally bogus.
Cheers,

I'll go...... without saying.

100% Fake!
I just opened this and before reading any comments one look at that vent was enough. It's been marked down but it always helps the enquirers confidence to have more response I think.
The vent looks like an original only in as much as it is round with a hole in the middle. That is where the similarity ends.
When you know what an original looks like you can spot this from the other side of the road.
No need to look any closer at the decals (which don't look great even in these poor images)
