M44 helmet with Austrian decal real or fake

**helmet2id** · 07-22-2011, 02:11 PM

Hi Dave, I think this one is Austrian made. I have a flat rim somewhere in storage, but without the large police decal. I am on the hunt for one of these. The decal is also found on the front or left side of M34's as well.
Chris, compare the decal on the helmet to the picture to be sure, but I think it checks out. Please let us know whether you pick this one up. Cheers, Jim G.

I think the decal is probably good, but I have only seen a few over the years and would want to see it in hand to be sure. Too bad, these are pretty neat helmets for not a lot of money. Jim G.

Just trying to learn something here,but the pic in the book shows the decal with vent holes to the sides.....

what up with the liner vs the helmet condition?
