Altmanns Shadow Scout Helmet

[ukscout]

hi guys,

 

well over a month ago I lost the bid on a black Altmanns scout helmet, was totally gutted as I missed by a few quid

 

anyway I've not seen one of these before and saved the pics from the ebay auction and thought I'd share my finding

with you all

 

I've emailed Jez to see if he knows anymore info on these Altmann Scout Helmets

Wow, I never knew Altmanns had a big gap at the back just like the KS!

Terrible looking!

[Chex]

Yeah, that def looks like a ks.

[Darth Voorhees]

I agree, that looks like a KS one to me as well. Probably better ya didnt win it..unless it was super cheap!

Well, my former white Altmann's lid was a single rear piece. No third dome piece. I do not see any signs of limited number decal on the inside either.

Quality looks poor too - check out the edges around the bottom nose and the rear. Not straight and Altmann's buckets were tight.

 

This person probably had an Almann's box and was pushing another bucket as an original. I have heard of the Shadow Scout Altmann's but have never seen one.

 

I hope that this was not the real deal.

I've just double checked on Jez's web site and could not see any black Altmann's helmets

you all may be right when you say it looks like a KS, also remember the ebay seller not wanting to

send me better photo's of the lid, starting to smell a rat me thinks

sorry to dredge up an old post but was looking around at everything and came across this posting, Altmann's never made a black scout. Maybe painted one black for a local guy but never for mass sales.
