I would agree with all of what has been said.
I would also agree with Frank. It makes in interesting talking point if the price is right.
Cheers, Ade.

Pure pencil handmade painting.
A good picture of the eagle can really help.
Style looks like a kid one, but i think an unskilled adult do it.
Looks like a father who do it for his kid, learn him who 's the big evil german nazi.
But, pure speculation, i want to say whatever, it' s a very nice one, if the price is cool. the kind of helmet i want to have in my collection, because we can speak about it.
Here is a M18 cutout with a funky eagle add to the front. When I post it DougB said it was most likely a volkssturm addition. He said he had seen a couple of FJ helmets with eagles added to the front.
OH The plot thickens!!!

I was told i could hold on to the helmet to get more info and opinions. The guy is easy going and said if I was not happy just send it back, no worry's or hard feelings. The color is a concern but I did find another helmet from a post here on this forum showing a silver helmet. I did know silver was used, if it is still a post war I still learned something new?

Thank you everyone for all the advice and opinions. The helmet is going back next week. I would keep if the price was lower,just to have it, but it is not worth it at the asking price for it not being a period piece. Again thanks everyone.

I believe the silver helmets were worn by fire chiefs so they stood out at a fire.

Jim,
Just for clarity. Do you mean the helmet that started the thread or the one in post 25?
I know I'm late to the game here everyone, but it think the first helmet is good. No expert reason other than my gut.
