Hi everyone, i know this picture isnt the best to work off, but im wondering if you agree that the rust doesn't look right on this helmet?
Seller also says there are no markings he can see?
Thanks

Hello V looks a little dodgy myself..I'm no CSI expert...but if it was real ? it would fetch a good 2000 to 4000 pounds being that it looks like a German para lid !!!!..Cheers Terry
Closer photos of the inside and out are needed Vicky to be able to give this the once over if you are thinking of a purchase ?

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

This must be fake, mostly because of the type of helmet, is this on Ebay?
Was on eBay. To be fair, the guy was selling it stating he had a feeling it was a repro as the rust looks a little even. I just wanted it for display as i'll never be able to afford a real one!
Im 99% its a repro, but there's always that 1% chance, so im not disappointed if it comes and is a real blinder.
If it comes in as a real one! I'm shopping with you next time lol...I could make mint hanging around with you while you shop!!!! lol, Cheers Terry.
