M42 Helmet - Good?

[francis006]

Sure a better close up could help but it looks like a Pocher decal on the 1st photo , Ns shell ?

New decal photo arrived, brighter but blurred!
Number on the interior of the rim is: 1697

I'd still be very pleased to see a clear pic of this decal...
(no macro mode available ?)

Helmet seems good to me, liner is ok but chinstrap later placed i think or reproduction, can't tell without close up. Could you also manage a close up of the decal? Greetings, Floris

Well, dunno when the auction ends, but if I were what eBan calls "a potential buyer", from the pics provided I wouldn't be too bothered to pass this one.

Just my opinion of course, for what it is worth... Whatever, I hope that we'll soon have here the proof that my (too many) worries were unfounded.

PS : nope, I won't bid on it !

Without asking, a better picture of the decal was in my inbox this morning & it's an N64, well he's a helpful seller! Have asked for chinstrap photos too.

Thanks lads, appreciate your input.
Any more views welcome, always helps.
Thanks, Ant.

Hello,

Liner seems good to me,

Original paint

But obvious a bad chinstrap.

Do you have a detailed picture of the decal?

Look so new on the other pictures but will review my oppinion if neccesairy

after a clear picture of the decal.

Greets, Floris

the chinstrap is a very bad reproduction. The liner seems to be ok but it's difficult to give you a statement about the decal from these photos.
For my part, I would bid on it but I would not take a to important risk. If you can pay this the price for a no decal helmet, it will be ok.

regards,
Fred

Thankyou friends
Well, we're back to where we started, good helmet, good liner, bad chinstrap & string.
As for the decal, well this has caused much disagreement. I do not think with his camera he will get better pictures than the ones he has already given.
How much would a helmet without decal & chinstrap cost?
Thanks, Ant.

As I said and with this very nice pic again , I see a good Pocher on a Ns shell

The decal looks fine ,the interior looks rusty and I wonder wether the leather is original to that helmet or not . Rob
