Just after some opinions on the following helmet which is a potential purchase.

I really like the no-nonsense appearance of this helmet particularly the subtle tones, the dirt in the lug holes and the name on the liner. The only thing I am a bit intrigued by is why on the rear photo the black separation line goes under the paint drip and not over the top. I have an M17 that I have owned for 19 years with a similar large drip and can only assume that when the camo paint was applied to this particular helmet it simply worked itself under the drip???

It’s also unusual that the separation line is not joined to the other black line on the right rear side. Other than that I really like it and feel that the general patina overall is consistent with a period camo.

I’d really welcome the opinion from more experienced collectors.

Thanks,
Andrew
