    ................and thanks to Lars for posting the helmets.
    Valid constructive info.
    I especially like the para lid and the Danish vet helmet.

    Bit touchy there....... but what I will say and it's been said time and time again. If you use the search bar and look at the pinned threads you could save an awful lot of time. Collecting anything German has its pit falls. But anything ss is a minefield

    Hello again,

    I will just show our member what i mean and give him a chance for learning something. I'm not doing out arrogance or anything like that. This helmet was so obvious it's a shame he does not know how to tell the difference. After all that's part of what the forum is about.

    This can save you money and time friend

    No need to say you're sorry. I just tried to show something that applies to all helmets. This forum is not about mocking people.

    I just hope you learned something from my post

    Luxembourg, you need to apply the same logical methods to German helmets as you would US ones, if you saw a rust pitted US helmet with a half decent divisional sign with no apparent underlying damage and paint in the pits , your reaction would naturally be one of suspicion, use that suspicion to help you in your collecting, by all means ask questions but try and back that up with some reasonable research, I'm sure you do the same with your helmets, there is'nt a great deal of difference
    Good luck

    I knew that there is something wrong with the helmet so I wanted to know what it is. I really want to say thank you people for your fast an great help!

    I know that this will change nothing but here are some close up photos of the decals. I feel guilty to post them because of the bad pictures of the seller.
    The decals are at the same height like the paint, so no sticker. An I think there is the "original" paint under this paint.
    NOTE: there is a LITTLE bit of the new paint on the decals, not everywhere! The other paint you can see is where the decals are a little bit scratched away
