Bad pictures...Good helmet?

[DALE ELLIS]

I know the pics are horrible but it is all the guy sent me. It worries me that the decal shots are so bad but he said the helmet is over at his Pawpaw's right now and it will be next week before he can get any better ones. Can anybody tell if it has a chance from these pics? Thanks, Dale

NO chance. Probably the shell is only real thing. The leather liner is postwar, chinstraps looks to be repro, paint is postwar overpaint.

Thanks much for the quick reply! I always want to believe even though I know better.

Ba Ba Ba Ba Bad to the Bone

Thanks everyone! I have all the helmet books but and have collected WWII relics for close to 50 years now but helmets were never really my thing. I suspected it was bad but when the boy said it was at his Pawpaw's I thought maybe it is real.
