Re: SS Relic SD M42 for verification
Look at the sellers feedback on Fleabay; he has sold loads of relic lids. This one looks fine to me, and judging on the other stuff he has sold. Would like to see a close up of the decal though.

If you look at his feedback you'll find out where he bought it and for how much !!

Re: SS Relic SD M42 for verification
Hi,
For me the helmet look ok but thats my thoughts on it, as i collect battlefield relic helmets among other military items. i am going by the patina in the metal, and the same patina in the bullet strike i have helmets that have the same type of damage where the round has gone through sideways on a spin. so this is nothing unusual in relics
but you must make your own mind up. Best of luck.

Re: SS Relic SD M42 for verification
Nothing wrong with the helmet itself Dave it's the decal thats the issue and better photos are needed !!

Hi,
I agree Paul, it does need better pics of the decal, i was answering more about the pickaxe strike from Talltom,
but most helmets buried for many years loose the paint and leave partial decals left, but it,s his call.

Re: SS Relic SD M42 for verification
IMO the decal is "touched up". Either in real life or in photo shop. I think 210 Euro is too much. SS decal or not. I have a M42 relic helmet without the extra "bonus" hole for about half the price...
Re: SS Relic SD M42 for verification
Hi Datrus,
210, is a lot of money for a relic, as they said SS or not, nice helmet but i would pass on it for the price.
dave,
