Splinter pattern Heer Camo Helmet Cover

[drbill]

Have been offered this piece out of old collection- I have mixed feelings on its authenticity, like a cord in the adjustment channel, off white material liner instead of brighter white, stitching. Opinions welcome please

Close-up images are best for determining originality of such a cover as the material used was specific to the cover and only one piece with two different sides, ie splinter camo and plain white. The strap running through the channel might vary. Even without out close-up images it does appear to me that this is merely a reproduction.

Not an original cover. Pass on this one. Incorrect material for sure.

swiss camo cloth? or reproduction cloth ?

[kammo man]

My first thoughts was swiss ...........but the white threw me.
Is is single or double sided ?
Not German for sure.

owen

I don't think the camo is Swiss. Certainly a bad cover. Drawstring made from twine is a pretty poor effort.

[kammo man]

Maybe 100% fake Willi ?

[Willi Z.]

I think so Owen. The fabric looks so 'stiff' the way the cover just sits there even when up side down.

[kammo man]

Yup .
The longer I look at it I see its screen printed not Vat printed.
