Heer M42: help reviewing please

[willemketel]

Hi Guys,

recieved this pictures to look at a helmet. Do not have more and asked for close up decal.
My opinion so far:
Pot is OK
Decal might be ok
Chinstrap is repro
Leather probably repro (7 pieces? and colour of?)

Your opinions are most welcome. thanks!

Bad, shell might be the only thing good on it

The liner appears artificially aged, and I notice the rivets look too flat(anyone else see this?)...Shell looks decent but is probably a small size!
Cheers, Glenn

Decal looks like a fake bigfoot I think, pic isn't ideal though. At best a put together lid, chinstrap is probably fake but definitely doesn't belong to that helmet. I'd keep looking matey.

I agree with the above... Quist decal on an M42 is no good, unless we're dealing with an extremely rare bird an that in this condition... Ima say no. Save your $..

The decal is an old fake made in the USA.

Cheers, Ade.

Fake decal, strap and liner, repainted shell.
