If legit.

I have not seen a camo combo in this pristine condition.

To recap:

A soldier is assigned to Sentry Duty, goes to the Company Quarter Master to pick up before a helmet front shield and a breast Shield, and his helmet is a PERFECT match to the helmet shield.

What luck!
 
I put up a better link.

I do believe that the camos were not done by the depots.
That was done by the troopers.
If indeed this is original it is a masterpiece
 
I bet it will fetch a handsome price regardless. On a side note, still after a cut M18 if anyone has one for sale........worth a try......
 
I took a long time and did check with some experts and in my opinion, it is not original paint.

The paint is a 70s touch up. I don't see the hand painted strokes, even the Latvia fakes have the paint strokes.

Brian, don't sigh, we are not experts in everything. We learn as we make mistakes... No one will laugh at u....i swear I didn't laugh 😂
 
Many thanks Amy for your comment. I suspect that one of the reasons why this forum is so successful is the fact that we all know that mistakes happen. I also know that strong personalities who wish to learn, will always know that mistakes are inevitable..... I sound like Confucius!!! Anyways, all is good!
:D .
 
It is masterfully done. If I had seen it a show I would have asked opinions, and I think the real danger is that if this happened to be an estate sale or a small gun show reasonably priced it would have sold quickly.

When I see stuff like this I wonder why that talent couldn't be put to something positive instead, but it is like the telephone scams - they work so hard to make a quick buck, in truth it would be easier to just get a job.
 
Hi all!
Just took a look and I see it's ended. Also, I've seen nice stuff like this on display in German museums, but to me the inside and outside don't work together. It looks like a Finnish re-work that I have in my collection, which itself looks too good to be true (bought with that in mind!).
Brian, I'd say you're one of the more knowledgeable around here. Certainly a lot better than I am!

:D Ron
 
The end price is pretty high for what it is. Someone thinks they got a steal though.
