Hope everyone's having a good weekend?
Any red flags with this one?
I don't see any but maybe I've had one beer too many tonight? :drunken:

I don't see any markings (may be under the liner?), or may be none. To me, it looks good also. Wood wedges for the plate, I've seen that on other helmets, may even be original to the owner? I know if I broke a wedgie, I'd replace it with something stronger.

:D Ron
 
Looks good to me, although I would like to see a close-up of the manufacturers stamp.

Best regards,

Edwin
 
1. spike base domed retainer on the left side is a replacement, appears to be a brass paper rivet.
2. spike/base has been removed and replaced in the incorrect orientation. Base needs to be rotated 90 degrees to the right.
3. retaining pin(s) for left side lug are broken or missing. Note position of triangular tab and compare with right side.
4. chinstrap and fittings are questionable.
