M16 helmet cover on the e-stand

Tony, due to the fact that I've never handled an original one of these, I'm not in a position to state whether this cover is original or not.

I wasn't in disagreement with Adler's verdict at all, just attempting to clarify a detail about the leather lug reinforcements, and I certainly see both of your points about the stitching.

Chad, I do have a fake cover which I'll post for you this weekend.
