It looks genuine and unmessed with, so even in its battered state, not a bad thing. But something tells me this one won't sell any time soon!

Indeed, it seems a very nice helmet. But I guess you are right that it may take while before its sold with such a starting price.

One bolt (flat head) replaced on the chin scale and one brass washer missing on the other. The bolts are always round headed never flat.
