M 38 helmet

[ks 750]

Hi there. I´m just newcomer. My name is Tomas and I´m also german military stuff enthusiast.
I have found your forum on the web and going through FJ section for three days now I decided to post some pictures of my M 38 helmet which has been in my collection for 15 years. I would like to get your experts opinion.

Welcome to the forum but sorry to say your helmet has some serious issues.

Hi Ks
The liner is a reproduction as are the straps/harness. From what I can see of the shell itself from your pics, believe it is also not original...which means the paint is post war. Sorry to say it's a modern day repro
