I like the foot note!....
Notes:

"1 Collectors should note that many Type I helmets currently on the market are in fact high quality reproductions. It has been established that several European sources modified and repainted M1940 helmets to make them appear as authentic originals. These helmets have since been sold in both the US and the UK as "originals" despite the fact that they are clearly counterfeits."

Yes, the French seller says the same thing....

Very cool helmet....there cant be many around. Awesome display that was put together. The only fake that i noticed was the belt buckle.
Again...great helmet though...

Its freakin' hard to hammer out a helmet - I've tried with an old rusty dented one. They were hardened & oil quenched for ballistics strength and will crack ( if ) you can get a good swing going on them

Baer has a period picture of a similar helmet in use in his book.

Hello, this is the Fliegerstahlhelm. there is two models I and II.
One other to sell in Fance for 2500 €.


It seems to be hard to find.

I have my doubts about this one.

Anders is the real deal.

I'd love to have one of these, but only if I got it directly from a vet

Agree would love to have one.
Too many fakes out there.
I belive there was one for sale at the SOS show this year for 8000$.
