You have to show close ups of stitching...any markings (sometimes seen in a purple ink size 1,2,3) close ups of rocker clips & pins. These are so heavily & convincingly faked...for decades. Usually the clips are the tell-tale.

I agree with David. any evaluation isn't not possible through these pics

You can also do some study on your own. "virtualgrenadier.com" has a couple for sale....and many in his "sold helmets" sub forum. Most of these have the anodized clips...yours are the steel type so you can narrow down your search just by the rocker clips installed.

While you wait to take more photos, you can compare to mine (I think the rocker clips are steel).

And that is why you need to stop over and visit one day....

(Yes. They are steel. I double checked before I went to bed last night. Just didn't have it in hand when I posted) )
