First things first, at the moment I'm not sure I'm posting this thread in the right section of the forum since it's a question I have to ask.
I've been surfing over Instagram, looking for #darthvaderhelmet and I landed over this video :
https://www.instagram.com/p/BcbHCKRAe2r/The man (I don't know who he is) claims to have tried the "original" Darth Vader helmet from 1977, which belong to Glenn Beck (I don't know who he is either, I'm european). We all know that the real face mask is in the hands of Arnaud Grunberg & Patrice Girod (SW - Objets du Mythe).
Well, I thought "It can not be that one since we have pictures of the real one". So I dropped.
Then I saw it a second time. Who the hell is Glenn Beck. So I've googled him and his Darth Vader helmet and there are 2 pictures of it over his Facebook :

I don't know all the little details of ANH Vader (yet) but I'm not familiar with the dome mount on the forehead of the mask.
Then I found this video where, again, somebody else tries the helmet, but without really paying attention to the "original helmet" as he claims. No gloves to take it, no stand to drap it. And the story he tells is weird. It doesn't make any sense to me :

So guys, is it a touring helmet, or a fan-made that looks aged enough to be mistaken to the real deal ?
What do you think about it ?
