    Snow Camo Fake Helmet?

    This rascal looks pretty contrived, but are there any good components on it from these limited pictures? It is a ET71 3780 - any comments are appreciated.

    regards, Robert

    Looks like all the ebay helmets, but is anything good?

        Too good to be true... From these pics, good liner, rubber pads and liner band. Chinstraps seem to be correct also, but they look brand new.
        My doubts are on the grey paint, camo job and decal.
        May we see some pics of the shell stamps and chin strap buckle?
        Regards

              Thanks. So the shell and liner/straps are reproductions as well?

                  To a layman such as myself, the basic helmet looked fine - thanks for the help, fellows.

                    Looks like a 2nd generation Czech fake which can usually be IDed by the application of a tan substance on the pads in an effort to harden them.

                      Clever little devils. It is a true asset to collectors that WAF FJ pros can so readily spot the fakes. Thanks!

                          Agree with the naysayers. There is nothing original to this one, shell, liner and straps are definitely bad.
