Looks like the M3 is missing the ear pads. I think while they are a nice set USAAF Flak Helmets, the price is on the high side.

I think the helmets are good, but I think the coverthingy is Korean War or WWII Surplus.

The M5 has been re-painted...should have a matt flock finish...as should the M3. There are some chinstrap issues and missing felt pads too, as has already been mentioned. Works out at around £200 a shot which is not far off what they would cost individually, so a bulk-buy might be cost effective?

I have a similar helmet in my collection for nearly 30 years and the ear pads come loose because of the lesser quality of the glue.
