Hello,
I like the camopatern very much, only seen one like this in 30 years... Bigger pictures are needed to see if the rest is ok...

I am leaning towards yes. I like the aged paint and wear seems consistent. The pattern is very unusual though but looks period. It looks like only 2 colors though. That is unusual also. I do like the age though myself. My opinion of course. Mike.

This one has a chance. Although I don't know the seller, he has offered many excellent original helmets on ebay. I asked for, and received close-up pictures of all three rivets. After close examination IMO all three rivets are original, however, replaced. IMO again I thought the outside paint around the rivets looked good, however; I would need a hands on examination before I went after this one.

I NOTE4D THE BAD CONDITION OF THE FRONT RIGHT RIGHT rivet in comparison to the rest of the helmet too. The liner, all of it has to be considered a parts helmet.

not for me, don't like the whole camopaint.

That was my first reaction however it's got all the age you want to see. It's different but that does not disqualify it. I am still wary of it however.

Well I think someone got a good deal on his helmet. I agree with all the positive replies. I like it and have seen many variations of this type. Even if it is a parts hemet a far price was paid. Jerry R.
