Let it go. Except for the shell it's a complete repro.

Cheers,

Thanks Daryl. I'd be interested to know if any particular reason stands out. I had my doubts.
Thanks for your input

KMr,

The decal is a well known modern repro of a CA Pocher decal. Also, the chinstrap and liner are both modern repros. The liner has that "waxy" look to it, which is the tell-tale sign. And finally, the paint looks like a recent application. Sorry I can't be more specific here on a public forum but rest assured that it is bad and is something to stay away from.

Cheers,


Darryl
