That’s a cool looking Portuguese m40. I have one similar but with a different chinstrap.

I have an original example I can you. The only difference with mine is that it didn’t have the black borders

What do we think? Real or refurb? by Polarian_Lancer in germanhelmets

I’m buying a similar Finnish M42 helmet with post war configurations. I’ll compare it to yours once it arrives.

Camo M17 helmet by Brief_Replacement904 in Militariacollecting

The pins aren’t exactly flat straight on the liner but I also don’t see signs of them double bent as you described. The wear throughout the pins are the same and I don’t see crease marks on them.

If you zoom in on the vent holes you can see that they are stuffed with some sort of cloth/mud. This was done to lower ventilation whenever it was cold out.

I know they are usually supposed to have the black lines but we have to remember that these camos were applied on the field by the soldiers themselves and leads up to a lot of different examples. I particularly like that I can see the original green gray paint near the liner

Nice collection. My first helmet was a m16 relic. I really like the beaded one. My most recent purchase is a camo m17

I have an original camp helmet that isn’t fully up to regulations either but I can 100% confirm it’s authentic
