Hi guys,
just found on the web, they want to sell it for a lot of money.
I have never seen this decal and I think is just a fantasy item, but maybe I'm wrong...
Also the eagle stamp on the liner is very strange.
What do you think?

dont think its real just a hunch decals dont look right to me for some reason that i dont know? could be painted white then aged by the look of it but im no expert ask John Brandon he to me is now master of German ww2 helmets!

It is a repainted post war reissue Norwegian helmet. Note the colour of the internal paint and the red coloured liner.

The decals are fake and incorrect too. Not such thing as a HJ helmet with tricolour national colours. The whole thing is a fantasy.

Cheers, Ade.

Yes,
I thought the same, the red liner is a clue..
but about the decal, is it existed or not?
if it is, I would expect one of those on a parade helmet rather than a combact helmet?

being an m40 shell i would think the chances of double decal of any kind would be low but they do excist but as ade said wrong combination of decals anyway

Ade is the HJ decal a total fantasy was it only the diamond on the decal or did it have a border ? or am i imagining things here!! (did they even exist)
