If the description does not match the item, then the buyer has a way out This line here... "Per information obtained from (Quest Masters Museum) these markings identify helmet as WW II era." Thats the buyers way out if it turns out not to be WW2. The Seller took a gamble being so vague. And then implying its WW2. Where are you seeing that in the original listing? His current re-listing of the helmet has a new description that you are quoting. Here is the entire description used in the first auction: Military helmet WW II ? Estate Find not sure which military or time period Appears to be original. Please view photos.

Costa, I'm not arguing that point, I was replying to Rooster's comment that he was referring to the re-listed helmet description as a reason for return and not the original auction and listing description where the seller clearly stated he didn't know if it was a WWII set or not. I do agree it's a nice set, just not what we hoped it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickman983 Posted November 28, 2020 Share #34 Posted November 28, 2020 I was going to throw my hat in the ring on this one but it ended up going for more than I thought it's worth. Auction ended at $455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
