silverado Posted September 14, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 14, 2018 I have been looking for a legit PTO camo helmet for a while. Whats everyones opinion on this one? It doesnt look to be a front seam, and he states the chin straps are reproduction. Thanks in advance.

yp221 Posted September 14, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 14, 2018 This one was discussed a few months back. Consensus was it was no good http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/312693-vesicant-paint-pto-lid/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted September 14, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 14, 2018 Fake. And before someone says: could you be more specific and detail the nuances. Ok, if I see a semi tractor trailer barreling down the road less the 20 feet from me, it doesn't take a PhD to see that stepping in front of it is going to hurt. Thus, one look at this helmet screams: "I am a fake, just look at my paint! Buy me and it will hurt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lugi45 Posted September 21, 2018 Share #10 Posted September 21, 2018 Here is a real one for comparison - Dean Dean, out of curiosity, where did you get the battle of Okinawa picture? I need to add some pictures to my war room. It's a small room and looks like a small museum but I need some more things on the walls.
