Thanks,

Looks good to me. Right colors, right pattern, honest looking wear. How does it smell?

Tom,

I didn?t have the opportunity for a close study... Thanks for the input.

Everything looks fine to me as well. Just wondering. however, why the liner retaining brads are not through the hole on the inside?

I always thought the leather interior of the M17 should be white but maybe not.

I think they did this in case their wasn't enough leather.

The helmet shell looks fine to me. The liner pads seem to be the M16 type on an M17 band. Not only are the pads supposed to be white, even if they did substitute the leather the cut or design of the pads in the M17, from the M16 is a little different. It is possible that they used the M16 pads in some production of the M17 liner but then the rear pin is missing or not going all the way through. All the parts look good to me so at worst it's a parts helmet.

If the right price it would be worth picking up.

Everyone,

Thanks for your kind assistance concenring this helmet. Unfortunately, the price offer was not reasonable (in fact, toooooooo high) and I dropped from the business.

All the best,

Douglas.
