While the helmet may have indeed been camo'd prior to or during the
Normandy actions, it doesn't exhibit the warm blend of colors that I
normally associate with a Normandy camo. From the pics, though the
camo does look good to me. It is a shame that the rivets have been
removed. If it were mine, I just might track down a set of rivets and
install them for the sake of aesthetics. I would make sure that the
liner is definitely original to the shell, however. If not I would just
leave it as a shell, which IMO look good on display by themselves.

Brian as discussed several times before I think it has become habit in the collecting community to label any multi-colored camo a Normandy camo.


I myself would leave it as is..

Yes, ALL camos are "normandy camos" today.

I like it Nick. For the right price Nick I'd buy it.

I admit this is a clear tendancy... Usually, a classic "Normandy camos" thread makes at least 6 pages.
Anyway, I like this one much too and if the former owner removed the rivets to clean the lid (I saw this z#%* behaviour more than once), I would put them in place again...
