i am still learning, but for me. The straps look odd

[Maus]

I agree Steve.

It's a bit more than that : Bad paint, bad decal, bad liner, bad straps.
Have I missed anything ? What do we think about the shell and bolts ?

[Gowert]

hehe, :P even if i missed everything else. For some reason, in this learning process of spotting a fake from the real deal, the straps seem to stick out more to me then any other detail on fj helms

The ET stamp does look a bit odd doesn't it? If everything is bad, there's a good chance the bolts are too. Wouldn't you agree Steve?

The decal is 100% bad. I am pretty confident that the shell is bad as well.

FJ helmet

I think I need to clear things up here. I bought this helmet from a guy who said it was found in a vets garage. Being a collector Of SS related items I am in no way a FJ helmet expert, I mean this damn thing even had blood splatterd on it, it looked fine to me. I sold it to Bruce, and told him that it was fresh from out of the woods as I was told. He posted it, and now we find it to be bad. This was an honest mistake, and no one intended to take advantage of anyone. I know that you people on the FJ forum probably dont know who I am , but people that do know me know I do not deal in fakes. The helmet is being sent back, and will be returned to the person who sold it to me. That is the deal

Sorry about this one guys. The problem has been solved.
