MORTEM
you know some times ive almost heard grown men cry here on this forum
there are many things that pop up here with provonence from vets
and even so called first hand knowlage that turn out to be wrong
it hurts people (i know) but there are guys here that know what they are looking at
and they will always be whonest no mater how brutal that may seem to a new guy
now when some one like me says they dont like the look of smething
that opens a debate ,, and that is what we are all here for
cheers ian

Morten,
I understand camo helmets can be hard to judge, from the photos you have posted I have some reservations of some of them.
The LW helmets without compelling evidence to suggest otherwise it doesnt matter where they were found, books, collections and collectors and period photos these 2 do not fit any kind of mold, paint, decal, decal to shell relationships. A lot of old collections can have a lot of fakes in them, back then prices were not as insane as today and there was not the collective and shared knowledge we have today.
>>The Luftwaffe helmets are found in DK<<
Remember, fakes started in 1945.

I tried your link and didnt really see anything of the helmets, can you post clear head on shots of the decals and more detail of the helmets?

Again, I am not saying they are all bad. I have concerns of the 2 LW, the wire (or whatever you want to call it), and one or two of the camos needs better photos.

Cheers
Doug
