Named M40 Normandy Camo

In post #3 the bottom picture....

Why is there a green liner rivet in the middle of a brown stripe?

That is the only thing that bothered me when I was watching it on eBay.

Agree, would not be a helmet I'd feel comfortable owning. Never liked the paint over dark rust look, always a bad sign. Sorry.

+3...... I agree not one that pushes the right camo buttons. Sorry

Not getting the right feel of warmth when I look at this helmet....

My feelings exactly...

Sorry guys for the late reply! I have been traveling and forgot to check the post.

As for the helmet, I am surprised to hear the opinions, but do understand the concern. When I first got it, I thought it may have been cleaned - but definitely an original camo.

I guess I will need to do some investigating!

Thanks for expressing the concerns.

I wouldn't be so quick to condemn this camo. I think this thick camo type would tend to flake off easily if it had been applied over a slightly damp surface. The patina and colors look very convincing to me. I would be curious to see if the split pins are untouched.

Third.

I know Im bias, but IMHO the wear looks pretty consistent and natural with the helmet. Liner pins do not look replaced and also show similar patterns of the shell.
