    Medic's FJ Helmet--"One Looker?"

    Here is a Medic's FJ Helmet that is a "One Looker" in the fact that you can tell the crosses are bad with "one look"!

    Likely whoever owned this helmet before, felt it was in such need of upgrading due to the poor condition of the eagle and the liner.

    Don't even know if the eagle is good.

    What do you think?

    Take a look!

                              I agree with you Ron, the red cross paint seems artificially aged or artificially painted so as to look aged. Not very convincing, I am afraid.

                              The eagle looks authentic to me, but I agree that it has received some touch-ups. The fact that the helmet doesn't have chinstraps also indicates that the shell and liner were taken apart. Liner is well used, but looks good to me.

                              I think this helmet was messed with quite a bit to make it more than what it really was.
