Article about: Dear Friends, I'm not sure if this Afrika Korps Pith Helmet is original or fake. Also not sure if is a italian or german model. Can you help me? The fotos are attached. Best regards, Von Riv
Both are copies IMHO. Original Heer shields are fairly easy to get, but Luftwaffe & KM are much harder to find and cost a lot more money, though if you look hard enough you do sometimes see them come up for a sensible price, but they are nearly always more expensive than Heer examples.
Attached some images showing the holes from where the original Luftwaffe eagle was removed.
