          Camo para

          I don't know, are we sure this one is real? I have to say that I have some doubts about the camo paint. It seems to me that all of the dirt and grunge are on the surface, not really ground into the paint.

          I have some doubts about the liner too. The leather and the rubber pads look pretty realistic but the stitching seems too small and tight on the center seam. Maybe it is just my computer. I would like to hear some more opinions on this one before making a decision either way, and maybe some better close up pictures of the inner rim, the seam in the liner, the full straps, the camo paint (more pictures like the last one posted), and the eagle.

          Regards,
          Terry

            I like what I see so far ! No warning bells at this stage. Can we see some close uo detailed shots of the straps & decal ?
            Overall, if I had to buy from these photo's, I'd be happy taking a risk.

              Agree Mike, snaps, eagle and rim pictures would be great, but for now I give it a .

              Looks like at one point it had chicken wire, and the camo was done over that.

                I like the liner, straps and shell. The camo does not look suspicious to me, personally. I would also take the risk of saying its a good salty example based on the pictures. The only thing I would note is that the bolts don't appear to have any camo paint on them. I would like a close-up picture of the inside part of the bolts to see if they are a recent replacement.

                The last picture of the helmet also shows that this helmet may have had a wire previously.

                  hi

                  Looks good to me - I would like to see the rim and eagle which i hope all adds up. This would make a very nice para lid.

                    So far it looks good to me as well. I see some camo on the bolt, but would like to see photos of the other bolts. I agree with Walter in that it appears to have had chicken wire on it. The damage in the liner appear to have been done by some hungry mice.
