Original or repro A 11 flight helmet?

[WarRelics]

My question is whether this A 11 flight helmet is original and authentic or a repro? It’s listed by a reputable seller. As a matter of caution I thought I’d ask for the opinion of collectors with more experience than me. All opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance. The photos are from the listing and not mine.

Cheers,

Hello. 

It's s an original in my opinion.

Maybe an NOS  = new old stock

Thanks adda91. I thought that it probably was but I’m not that familiar with these. From the sources I looked at it has all the things you look for except aging you might expect with something 80 years old. Looking to good concerned me but I know that it’s possible to find items in this condition that were lightly or never used.  The seller guarantees the authenticity and accepts returns which led me to think it was probably original. Thanks again.

Some will know by the contract, what year it was made , but I’m guessing late 44 or early 45… and looks to be deadstock condition… nice 👍👍🇺🇸
