Looks like the makers marks and date under the number . If its cheap buy it ! Rob

real nice set, original painting and finish

No way to see if the paint is Original from these crap pics. For sure I'm not a fan of the liner and the flashes. Really not a helmet I would buy, not even if it was real cheap.

I have been considering this one too. Some areas that trouble me are:
- No clear manufacturingmarkers on liner sweatband. Just the numbers. Should at least be some remnants of a BMB or other. There might be though its not stated.
- Strange burn-damage on the paddings..looks like burned rubber.

Pictures clearly show the BMB stamp and size shield. Someone with advanced photoshop skills will be able to make the stamp clearly readable. The padding is made of felt covered with rubber which hs mostly worn off, it tends to get a bit brittle over time.
