[Lenny W]

looks like a bad one to me check out his discription he says WWII type no wear to outside yet liner is worn

[Willi Z.]

Can't tell for sure. But, something is wrong since it is a DD in the wrong color.

[Ardennes]

Yes Willi, it should be blue!

But seriously, the liner doesn't seem right and IMO resembles the recent Russian repros.

Mike you got it! I want a blue one......

Do you have some photos of Russian fakes you could share with us?

A friend of mine sold a significant portion of his superb firearm's collection through RIA. He also sold a few pieces of militaria, such as a Normandy camo FJ, just to test the waters. But now, I have seen several fake FJ helmets being offered. Not a good thing.
