Thanks gents... the helmet with cover was returned yesterday. FYI, for reasons stated below. The cover is a complete fabrication, and is not authentic. The helmet itself appears to have been made up with various parts from other helmets. Both, the front and rear visors have been resewn, rather sloppily I might add. The front visor is is actually larger than the shell, and is not original to this helmet. The front visor brads do not match the front visor trim. The spike base is very loose. The spike does not match the base. The liner seam was not restitched when someone was reworking the visors. The drawstring is not original. The chinstrap is also questionable, and most likely not original to this helmet. Those were the biggest red flags, and back it went.
Happy Hunting,
Chuck
