I bought this ckl 64 - 4109 Steel M42 german helmet on net.
The seller tell me the helmet was re-paint.
I will apreciate your opinions if this one is fake or original.
Many Thanx!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

It appears to be an original German M42 helmet, likely a repaint post war and missing the liner and pins. You will definitely get more opinions.

agree with Ralph.

As it sits, it is only a shell. The Czechs used these
post-war for civil/fire duty, and it's likely that this
one was used for that purpose.

$100 would be about right, but I've seen some
silly pricing on post-war painted shells in
the recent past.........
