I hope no one on here is bidding on this one ether , the guy even says that he thinks its a reproduction which it is. So why its at £410 already I have no idea.

Better than $14,000.00 for a crusty original.........!

for that price just buy a nice German helmet. man i wish i hadent of sold mine these things are getting insane.

part of the reason why these command high prices is the amount of fakes out there so when an unquestionable M-2 dose come to light collectors will go mad over it in order to own an original.

I can’t get over these stupid people bidding on this helmet,its at over £900 now 4 days to go. Real m2s never had stainless steel loops ,the dimple has been punched that hard thats its showing on the other side of the rim, not to mention the modern spot weld. What are they thinking.
