1canpara Posted May 16, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2020 That’s what happens when you don’t follow the laundry instructions and wash them in hot water and then throw them in the dryer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickman983 Posted May 16, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2020 I'm not sure about this one, I think we're going to need some closeups on the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Ambrosini Posted May 16, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 16, 2020 Yeah, I agree. I'm not getting a good feeling from what I see of the side panels. The wear looks a bit contrived to me. Of course, I'll defer to the forum experts on this one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that will help, Nick. His finger prints and skin oil has probably ruined the patina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtdorango Posted May 16, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 16, 2020 Somethings wrong with it...i just cant put my finger on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted May 16, 2020 Share #10 Posted May 16, 2020 Usually the green liner chin straps are from Euro clone helmets. Might need a look at the liner at least. I don't think it's US though at least if there are euroclone parts attached to it. Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob214 Posted May 16, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 16, 2020 That paint just looks way to fresh. A fake in my opinion. I hope that You didn't pay to much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted May 16, 2020 Share #12 Posted May 16, 2020 Is there a name inside, perhaps Joe, G. I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted May 17, 2020 The liner has been in there a long time, I can't get it out. I think it's original to the helmet, but the scratches on the cross looks artificially done, I'm not to fond of the elastic headband. jmhoSent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntssurplus Posted May 17, 2020 Share #14 Posted May 17, 2020 Missing chin strap loops... looks like they might not have been there in the first place. . again not a fan of this one. I don't think the helmet is WW2 era, not to mention US manufactured. Just my two cents, Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Hazard Posted May 17, 2020 Share #15 Posted May 17, 2020 That helmet and liner are post-war unfortunately, and I mean post backyard-war Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
