    I like what I see. The rust, even if newer doesn't really bother me as the rest all appears to add up. As noted, could be poor recent storage.

    Congrats Grit! But one note. I would not conclusively call this a DAK. It could just as easily be a Tan Camo used in many other theaters during the war (aka "Sudfront" camo). But that doesn't take anything away from the helmet. It looks great.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Better to be informed than not

    Just giving the options! Didn't say is wasn't a DAK In the end, it is a great tan camo that anyone should be happy to own.

    I highly appreciate all the opinions, you guys are honestly the best. I'm only 22 and have wanted a authentic DAK camo helmet ever since I was about 13. To own one now makes me a happy clam. Thank you all!
    You have done very well young man! I feel that the tan is good, i was just concerned with some of the rust/wear, but as said, a lot of time has kicked all our lids in the butt, so there are always "non period" issues to look at! Here is my " sud front " to compare with, it's a Quist Luft, most likely from southern Italy as it has tan and green.

    Agree with Realsteel about the possibility of a decal under the paint, but it would be a brave soul to reveal it.
    Only ill informed stupid people would still attempt this. It destroys the helmet and the value will sink down with it.

    I love the sand textured finish on this lid, very nice indeed.
    Leon, you look very butch wearing that lid. (Great camo as you know).
