That's for M35 and later helmets.

Take it to a pawnshop in Vegas and try to sell it. They know an expert on everything.

chinese knock off fake guaranteed

if youre thinking about buying it, i would pass. unless you can A).verify with some certainty thats it not a repro or B). you can live with the fact that its possibly a repro.

found a real one with original liner for cheaper, just need to get a chin strap now

Its obviously harder to tell if its real/fake without it in my hands, but it looks real...
The rivets etc. look like they're in the right place
Of course m16 17 & 18 all use the same shell, it all comes down to the inside (but you've shown it and it is obviously an m16)

How much are they asking for it?

Wants to know if its authentic, comes on 4Chan to ask questions. Maximum Kek.

there should be stamps on the brim, no stamps, it's a repro.

assume its fake

this "restoration" obliterated any value it had as a historic piece so the price drops accordingly. all the so-called "original fabric" is gone. original finish and falling-apart-but-original liner would have been worth 100x as much.

so your question is irrelevant as the point is moot.
