This seller has tried to sell fakes before as recently discussed here.
What about this one? What model is it?
By "if this helmet was complete...", is he actually trying to highlight the fake liner??

Notice the thin appearance of the post link on the chinscales, the zigzag liner stitching, the poorly detailed eagle, and the steel (not brass) edging, etc.? It's a replica from I.M.A., or at least from their Indian supplier.

Yes, agreed. If he sold it as a replica, he might get a good price, but... [-( [-(
