VAM or 40th?

looks Vintage to me

Yep thats vintage for sure!

An old photo & not the best...

This outfit was not released in 40th Jorgos so you're good   Here are some more reference pics (clearly with added Y-Strap webbing and MP40):

Everyone, thank you for your help - especially Nick and Tim for the reference photos - guys like you is why this is such an excellent forum.

I have no deep knowledge of the 40th stuff (when they came out and the following 2-3 years, I was on a hiatus from collecting, for personal reasons) and I have already been "burned" by an ebay seller in this matter (when I addressed his vague and ambiguous item description his reply was "not my fault you cannot recognize the new stuff, you should have asked me to clarify", etc.). So, since then, if I have had no prior interaction with the seller - or knowledge of him/her - whenever I am to buy anything expensive, especially if loose, VAM from ebay I request photos and specifically ask about the item being true vintage or not. This time, the fact that the seller never sent me photos and that he/she seemed peeved when I asked him/her questions (although he/she has only been at ebay for a couple of months) made me suspicious. Also, the photos I have seen at various reference books seemed different to me but I guess that was just me being biased.

Anyway, thank you all for your input and assistance (but still I am not going to buy this outfit as I think he/she is asking too much for it).

I would say £30-£40 would be a fair estimate for the outfit if it helps Yorgos.

Thank you Tim, the estimate you quoted seems to me to be right on the money (excuse the pun)  - not that I am such an expert at prices but the £60 asked for it seemed to me to be too much. Thanks, again.

It is a nice outfit indeed Yorgos - looks to be in very condiiton too - often the breast badge is missing and the helmet decals also , however I agree £60 asking price is too much
