youre thoughts on this pls

Looks like a bad decal covered over but better close up photos will help !!

Looks like someone scrubbed down a bad decal to hide the details that give it away, that is my first impression but impressions are all one can give. We need a close head on no glare photograph picture of the decal and reallly need to see the interior of a helmet, it tells half the story as well.

Agree with above, need better pics. Also, it looks to have been repainted over rust pits, IMO.

It's ex my helmet, if I right remember, that was a early 1960's Demjansk found helmet

Then that would explain the heavily scrubbed decal.

The helmet doesnt seems scrubbed do you have any pics of it Dimas?

From a view it does looks as if it had a bad decal applied. Not your ususal faded outline of the runes. Of course the picture is not dead on the decal. But if Dimas had once owned this helmet i am not surprised it's originality. Many times he has shown what may appear fake was in reality real.

hi i did buy this from espenlaub about 3yrs ago and its got battle scars on the top wich adds more interest to me

Hi, is it possible for you to post some more and better pics, underneath showing the liner, the rivets and paint closeups etc... It appears to have a good history, so it would be best for all if you can provide more images.

Thanks, Jerry
