Re: Real or Not?
Everything on the Helmet looks like it was just painted, I would say stay away from it, but that is just my opinion of it.

Re: Real or Not?
The shell is good but everything else is bad(liner,paint and decals)

How so? The paint on it does look added after the fact (Around the Reich Seal, and there's a bit of paint on the strap). Just curious if you could go a little more into detail about why those things look wrong.

Re: Real or Not?
From what i can see, the helmet is real but repainted, the decals look to be reproductions, the liner has 10 fingers, something ive not seen before and no stitching to the rear of the liner therefore either foreign design or a put together piece plus the cut of the liner is very rough at the edges, the chin strap is also in question , i would wait for other opinions but thats what i see from these pictures

Agreed!! It just looks cheaply done.

I think the liner is east German but not sure.
