French made example and these were issued to the Luftwaffe, but these are too easy to fake and without a known history or some other way of proving it was period issued I would be wary of buying one of these. Hard to tell much from these poor pics, impossible to tell if the insignia is original or any signs how long it has been on the helmet.

First, is is not a DAK helmet. It is an unissued surplus French helmet with post war added insignia which may be fake from the photos. Need better pics to see if the insignia is original or not. Most of these French piths that were worn by the Germans in the Sud Front did not have any insignia....save your money.
