Re: German helmet cover!
Hi , I must admit that I know nothing about these covers as they have been so massively faked I never give them any attention. All that said, this one looks a bit to washed out to me although the "rocker" clips look good. The general wear just seems a bit contrived to my eye.I hope it works out for you!! Leon

Re: German helmet cover!
First of all thanks for your reply! Secondly, do you mean that the showing age is just too much? Can't it be due to bad storage after the war or just bad treating? I agree that it looks too badly damaged in order to pass like an original but i don't know what to guess! Thanks anyway!

Re: German helmet cover!
The same as Fallshirmjager, I know little about these and generally give them a wide berth. IMO the colors don't appear to have faded as much as it seems they should given the overall wear of the cover. Furthermore, I see no wear that could not have occured artificially, or perhaps by a re-enactor using it heavily. Please note these are only my opinions, I would like to see what the experts say

Hi, it's not so much the damage, it is more the look like the fabric has been through the washing machine as it is very evenly faded. Just my opnion, but it looks suspect. Leon.

Garbage badly aged fake, wrong clips and everything else wrong with it, the stitching, the colours, all bad.

Re: German helmet cover!
Thank you guys! That eBay is full of garbage when it comes to our field of interest! Luckily i've got an Afrika Korps cufftitle and a KRETA one for very few $$ that were tested in this forum and proved to be ok from that site!
