Yet another E-bay helmet

[Sigurd Helge]

Hello,
I am a relatively fresh newbie on FJ related items and new to this particular forum.
I am looking for a decent FJ helmet but I am currently in a "learning stage" and will remain so for quite a while since I reckon that my "above average" knowledge is outmatched by far by a majority on this forum.
I have been studying litterature on the subject aswell as I have been collecting and studying quite a few pictures (mainly from this forum). I have also handled a few genuine helmets but I still consider myself a thorough "textbook novice".

I have seen this helmet on E-bay (lot no. 6543363325).

I'm guessing the poor fitting between the aluminium liner band and the shell is a clue but what else?

Comments and opinions?

An improved Czech fake. Since the soft foam pads where a clear sign of a Czech fake, they started to apply a tan compound in an effort to harden the foam rubber. All the other features of a textbook Czech fake are present.
