The hard steel helmet has scratches and missing paint in spots.  The one chin strap bracket is missing in the side.

The shell has lots of scratches & lots of chips to the paint that covers the composite material the helmet is made of.  The decals on the sides may have been replaced at one time. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. There is wear and chipping to the decals. The inside bottom is discolored...looks like there may have been water laying in it at one point.
