Re: Original or not?
Being a shell 68, it would probably fit a size 59-60 head right?

Re: Original or not?
That vent looks ugly as hell, and the rolled rim reminds me of repros I've seen. But yes a 68 shell would fit both 60 and 61 cm liners

Re: Original or not?
The vent in this original look bulgy as well but the hole is cleaner...then the repro looks similar as list above....could this maybe be a very well aged repro perhaps?

The 1st helmet pictured is a repro as is your helmet Im afraid and not a very good one either.Oberleutnant Ulrich wrote:The vent in this original look bulgy as well but the hole is cleaner...then the repro looks similar as list above....could this maybe be a very well aged repro perhaps?
Re: Original or not?
Agreed. The rolled edge is far too wobbly, the vents look a bit clumsy and the stamped numbers look a bit sharp from what I've see of originals over the years.

And the split pins look massive - before reading what size it was I thought it was 60 or 62 shell which was making standard sized pins look huge.

Re: Original or not?
Yes, I was refering to the one with the bullet hole in it as bulgy, just the pictures were posted in the wrong order, the first one is clearly a repro and I was using it to show the roughness of a repro.telemark wrote:The 1st helmet pictured is a repro as is your helmet Im afraid and not a very good one either.Oberleutnant Ulrich wrote:The vent in this original look bulgy as well but the hole is cleaner...then the repro looks similar as list above....could this maybe be a very well aged repro perhaps?
Thanks for help guys, the liner and paint job looked but but I had my doubts for the same reason...good thing I didn't buy it yet.

Re: Original or not?
The rivets look like the ones on the Czech re issue ones you see around so wonder if the liner is also Czech?
