Not to buy! The helm is crap, even has the colour of it lol
The palm tree and hakenkruez decal is a 1970's invention.....no such decal existed. Also the helmet seems to have been airbrushed with a hobby type airbrush....the paint seems to uniform and thin, and has had some sort of wash added to it to age it up....all in all this is a pure post war fantasy piece...
You have much to learn young Padawan.

Politely decline the offer and kick the seller in the fork while you're at it.
thank you very much everyone!!!!i'm new collector,but alredy fed up with people advertising their stuff as 100% original.THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN
thats awful.
I have much admiration for a new collector whom, if he or she is unsure about an item offered for purchase, asks questions and seeks advice BEFORE buying.
Kudos to you, dear colleague...
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam!
Hello, that helmet truly stinks, I have got to say that it is possibly the worst fake/fantasy lid I have ever seen. At least you did not buy it! Leon.
