Re: Fake German Steel helmets
Hi!
Your helmet was sold on vatera.hu. Seller's nickname is stefanvass from Hajdú-Bihar county (eastern Hungary). He is a nice guy, use to make repro helmets like this.
Camo paint is one thing, but basic paint ("factory paint") is quite different from original. Decal is good quality french repro from decalhelmet.com but as I said it's a nice restored helmet which has never been offered as original.

Re: Fake German Steel helmets
Great photos, but I feel confused with some of the helmets, a description of what is fake about the helmets would be handy, as the collecting world now has to deal with fake shells now, a summary of serial numbers that are fake would be excellent, I have seen fake lids that are very convincing in there brand new condition, one fake number stamping I do know is ET-68, but was wondering are there other known fake numbers and letters, also it might be easier to place a photo of an original next to the fake pix, just to train the eye a bit better, these forgeries must be studied in minute detail, these fakes are killing collecting and must be stopped.

About mutant-helmet

Fine original German Prussian spiked Pickelhaube helmet, worn by the German military around WWI. The helmet features a gilt eagle ornament holding a scepter and orb. The eagle has the letters "FR" on it and reads "Mitt Gott Fur Koenig Und Vaterland" which translates to "With God for King and Fatherland". The helmet also has a detachable spike. The helmet comes complete with the original liner that is intact and in good condition. The helmet is in very good condition with only some light wear to be expected with age.
