Anything wrong with this one? Chinstrap maybe?

We talked about this one a couple weeks ago, it is now just relisted.

Not much good about it!

I agree, liner looks fake to me and a parade plume on an EM helmet :lol: ?

Guys, if my memory isn't failing me, the one we talked about last time had a red plume?
Besides, what's wrong with EM & Trichter? It wasn't limited to Off. & NCO, was it?

I have seen many examples of parade plume and trichter on EM helmets. Now, only certain regiments could wear them but its hard to say if the helmet offered in this ebay listing did wear a parade.

here is a example of a EM style trichter with Probe paper....

Trichters on OR helmets are just fine for certain regiments etc. I have quite a few.

this helmet just seams put together to me. Looks like there is a base support plate or disc on the inside and outside?
 
James is right about the dual bases. Wouldnt bid without a regimental ID. Still a trichter has value if its authentic.
