zippy144 Posted April 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2016 Hi I would suggest that without pictures it would be impossible to tell. If the colour is too bright and yellowish i would saqy repro. Here is mine for reference. Regards Tom THE OVERLORD COLLECTION a virtual museum at theoverlordcollection.co.uk www.m-1helmets.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites

WW2JAKE Posted April 13, 2016 Share #7 Posted April 13, 2016 for future reference do not use outside links. the forums image posting can be a pain in the butt, however photobucket pictures get deleted and we end up with useless posts referencing images that are no longer there...

zippy144 Posted April 13, 2016 Share #12 Posted April 13, 2016 Hi Reproduction, the fixtures and fitting have no age to them. The brass rings look like they were made yesterday. Even mint unissued equipment shows signs of age. Regards Tom THE OVERLORD COLLECTION a virtual museum at theoverlordcollection.co.uk www.m-1helmets.co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
