Hello Guys & girls, I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this helmet??. I got in France the other week.I dont know much about these things! but myself & the Missus have done a little research to see what we have!!& we both are convinced it is a fake but still a good looking we think!! Thanks for your time Terry.

Thanks Nick for the info, I like it still so it will sit in the war room with all the other stuff. Cheers Terry.

it'll make a good stand in till you can get an original

Certainly does Nick, Now I know what I am looking for after spending a few hours on the net & reading my books I should get the real deal next time,Cheers Terry.

Adding to Nick D's comments, these are the main points
1) Post war because of the different shell ( no liner rivets ) and liner support method. Also liner has perforated holes at forehead position and the wrong colour for a TR liner.
2) wrong shade of green for ANY 1939-45 helmet
3) water slide decals of the wrong shape & size

As long as you can live with it, that's fine. But as you learn and see more correct helmets it may start to annoy you..........
