Hello everybody,
What do you think about this m38?
Thanks

I like what I see so far but would like to see some detailed views of reaction between the strap and the helmet as well as clear shots of the rim and markings, y straps etc.

Sorry only these photos.
Thanks

Original camo, but with questions. I would like to see the decal area, as the wear and damage does not look natural in that area. I doubt the leather hangar is original to the helmet.

Yes, decal looks like it may have been dug out.

[lgdsjmi]

yes I think the leather strap was probably put after.
and yes a very intelligent person has dug at the level of the eagle.
but it seems a beautiful FJR6?

Yes, it sure does!

Superb example !

Yes, certainly a very nice FJR6 camo.

Hi, the helmet looks more rusty in the second set of pics, and also, are there two ET stamps ( which would be very odd, more likely pictures sent are incorrect to the helmet)? Have you held it in hand yet, as I would be a little cautious of its true condition otherwise...
Cheers.

no there are not two stamps. I put these pictures to show that it's the same lot !!

the photos are made by me with a direct light on the helmet.

Oh good. Yes plenty of character with this helmet, very interesting example.

Hello,
I wonder about the chinstrap.
is it possible that the chinstrap is good but with repairs or is it totally fake?

JM:

At a glance from my iphone, the buckle looks okay, and most of the leather on the chinstraps looks like it may be okay as well. However, (a) the female part of the snap is not authentic, (b) at least one of the male snaps is also not authentic, and (c) portions of the chinstrap show heavy re-stitching / repairs.
