Are you a member on GHW2?

...and if I understand correctly, you bought this one at the auction?

If you really want an honest opinion - I would personally not have spent money on this one...I think you should have posted it before the auction for opinions.

I will give you my thoughts, as you asked.

Decals are in my opinion fake as you stated and the paint has been post war applied.

I will tell you why I would not have bought it:

1) The two reasons stated above - Fake decals and post war paint

2) Look at the liner pins on the outside - untouched, hardly a scratch on them.

3) Look around the rim of the helmet....the area where a helmet will easily get banged and knocked.

4) I think the liner has been replaced - check the pins on the inside when it arrives.

5) Chinstap looks from the pictures a bit suspect.

In my opinion, hard earned money gone to waste. For me it is better to have one nice original helmet that may have cost you €1,600 rather than 4 low cost helmets with no original paint or decal for the same price.

Just stating why I would not have bought it.
