This is not one you would want to own.
I agree it appears to be a round bottomed baddy from them pics , rgds Dave
I'd be suspicious of the fact that the paint just happens to have been scratched off in the area of the decal...what a coincidence hey? I think the forger has painted the helmet, roughed it up whilst taking care to ensure the decal area is left clear of paint, applied a decal, roughed it up again then gone sucker hunting.
Don't be that sucker...
Thanks for that,you have all confirmed my doubts on it and i will pass on it and give the guy the bad news.........Cheers Rob
Looks like whomever wrote the name on it didn't know what they were doing- the slash is in the wrong place; it separates the Kompanie number from the Regiment so should be '8/ JR 107'. That is a Heer unit of course, not an SS one, but I doubt it's even a wartime marking...
Ohhhhh- pillage then burn...
