Picture of the liner .. ..

I have a few concerns about the liner. It's age wear and stitching. Maybe some active rust too. Let's hear some other comments, I may be wrong on this one.

[Theodor]

The liner holes - aren't they too small? Or it's just the picture?

[Perry Floyd]

Kinda looks like the KM white camo'd one doesn't it?...

I wouldn't consider this helmet..

[Jan B]

....and if you look at the selling-price, these normally catch much more...

My guts says , indeed the inside has some questionable points ( like Ty stated) and the overall look of the helmet just doesn't cry ' originality '. I too would pass on it.

Kind regards

Jan

Amazing as to how many medic's helmets are on the market now..

[kennethc]

Just to pass on a helmet because of Peter VL's
Price, Availability, Gut feeling, are not
sufficient.
For medic helmet, the structure of camo is more important than others.
(i.e the scratch marks, paint... etc)
The same happen to SS helmet, the focal point in on the decal.

I took everything into consideration when I gave my comments..
Only the misinformed/inexperianced would move on this helmet..

These are my standards concerning this helmet, Ken. Anyway, if it was a real "talker" it should have been sold instantly for that price...

Cheers

Price, availability and gut feeling are not sufficient? Perhaps not to you Ken.

Ken, what is your opinion of that paintwork??

[kennethc]

We don't have a good pictures. Hence, I'm not sure what is the exact color of the helmet. Let's just compare the 3 different medic helmets
discussed on previous thread.
This one is from Jan.

By the way, Jan, I was told eight people were on queue for the helmet. Before Peter got fed up and put a hold sign on it .

This one is from Jan, I assume it's original.

[kennethc]

this is from Peter V L. Base on these 3 helmets... any different?

[Willi Z.]

Why don't you tell us what your opinions are on all of these? What you like and don't like. Who owned them before they went to a dealer...and who owns them now. You forgot Cody's. I know what you are trying to infer about my opinion. You are barking up the wrong tree. I trust the opinions of advanced collectors, not the dealers who sell the item. The entire chain of custody is the key to most, and the key to the future
