Thanks for your reply blue. Not too bad of a job on that one is it?

I agree. Bad wire and artificially aged.

Thanks Wolf. How the heck can you tell It's artif. aged? Interesting about the wire also, normaly a left twist? (i might have to change from K.P. to Watson since everyone else on this site it sherlock)

KP,
You can read some good information about wire twist patterns on german-helmets.com. Compare the paint with other camo helmets you can find on this forum. The reddish rust is also not a good sign.
Regards,
Ed Wolf

Matt's the "Camo King" I'm the Camo joker, but even as a camo novice I don't like that one.

Thanks Ty. The camo ones are probably the trickiest to deal with.

KP,
As Baer demonstrates in his 1985 Volume, double twist chicken wire is produced in the USA. Here, in the US, we have known about the stuff for, it now seems, forever.
The importance of adequate reference information when collecting TR helmets cannot be overestimated as the motivation to fake same is, to many, an uncontrolable urge.
Below is a page from Baer and the cover of the latest(3rd) printing of his indispensible work.
