I'm thinking fake.

I can take a reference pic if you want, I have just compared the auction with an original stormtrooper and Luke ST Helmet.

That shape and pain job match a normal stormtrooper one more that the removable one.

yeah... it did look like a sawn-off stormtrooper head.... i have a luke stormtrooper here but no helmet :(

i read about repro's having a moulding circle "sprue" mark on the back and the real ones dont have that.

i wouldnt like to waste my Ã'£Ã'£Ã'£ on a cut up figure

a pic of the front and rear would help :)
