Imporssible price, German SS helmet, Is it Original?

[kuruming]

This helmet is for sale in Japanese auction.
Seller says that this he buys this SS helmet in Latvia and this helmet is original.
But price is unbelievable price, only $850.
I think that if this helmet is original, it is impossible price.
But I am novice military collector, I don't know this helmet is original.
What do you think about this helmet? Is it original? or fake?

Better pics will be needed

I contact seller, and request more pics.
But seller don't reply my message.

Possibly a scam, tell him to send close up pictures of the decal and markings. The liner looks like a aged reproduction

The liner is obviously bad. The decal looks fake too. Latvia - well, that seals the deal. It is FAKE. Run, don't walk, RUN to the nearest exit and forget about this one. Jim G.

Well said!!

I'm with Jim. You do not want this helmet.

Seoul is a beautiful city in a beautiful country. Been there myself! Great people, very friendly.

I would be comfortable calling this one a fake even without better pics.
The price, the location, and that liner are enough for me.

Thank you for kind advice.
Thanks to your advice, I am not deceived.
I wrote some questions from yesterday.
I feel that German helmet has many fakes in auction.

Auctions are definitely not the places to go for authentic items, especially SS helmets. You can come upon some nice items at auction but SS helmets are usually not among those items.
