Re: An original fake FJ Helmet?
This most likely is a Bundes Grenz Schutz (BGS) helmet. The BGS is a sort of Border Police. Strictly post war. I guess in itself worthy to be collected. Remove the decals. They degrade the helmet. Price could be near Euro 100,-, but only as a correct post war helmet in good condition.
These helmets were also tried by the German Parachute troops in the mid fifties, but not adopted.
Cheers,
Emile

Re: An original fake FJ Helmet?
20 years ago is around 1990 , plenty of reenactor helmets , shells and fake decals on the market then. Just like today.

Re: An original fake FJ Helmet?
Thanks very much for the ideas! It has to be much older than 1990 for me to have bought it for 50cents Australian back then; however, its condition would suggest that it was never used and I've had it sitting in a box for 20 years so it would be hard to date. I only collect Iron Crosses, so I know very little about helmets.
