This helmet is so often offered for sale (Currently on Marktplaats.nl).
The guy offers this helmet always for sale under another name.
He also has these 2 for sale, according to him 100% original .
His real name is Pawal Nowak a known scammer!
I would stay away from these helmets and this guy.

That's a big swindler which should be banned by the Marktplaats administrators.
Nevertheless it's seldom seen that a legit FJ helmet is offered via this site. Always be aware.

I agree. The word needs to get out.

I agree. The word needs to get out.

There is already a warning advertisement placed about him to warn fellow collectors (with all his personal data, full name, bank account, address of his bank ect.) .
Also Marktplaats is informed about this scammer. Hopefully they quickly remove the
advertisement, before people lose there money.

I asked the seller for more information. He told me he lived in Brussels but know he lives in Poland. That he only sels original material, etc. etc.
Yeah right....

I must say that he puts a lot of work into his forgeries.

Very true...we are all psychic to some degree...most people however don't listen to their 'gut'.
I have a question: Pawel....so...has anyone actually gotten an item from him? fake or otherwise?
Crappy helmets here though...

Always go with your gut and your inititial thoughts and even feelings. You might throw the "baby out with the bath water" sometimes, but your wallet will thank you in the long run. Even if you are not sure what is wrong, rely on your gut. I recall the first fake Czech FJ I saw in the 90's. I did not know that such good fakes were being made, but I knew something was wrong. I passed on it and someone else bought it. He was just smarter than I was.... Then I learn a year or so later about the Czech fakes, which have always been pretty good.

Here is an early Czech fake from the late 90's;
