WWII german Helmet should I buy?
I need opions on weather I should buy this helmet or not. The person who is selling it said it was an authentic WWII german helmet and it was complete. I would really like your opions on weather you think this helmet is authentic or not. Also what kind of helmet is this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank-You

Hi Camry
Bigger pictures will be needed. I'am not a helmet collector, but I don't really like what I see so far...

Thank-You for the response Nick VR. These are the only pictures i could get. How can you tell it is not authentic?

Re: WWII german Helmet should I buy?
Hello Camry, better pics are really needed but the shell looks repainted. Also notice the difference of the condition of the helmet shell as compared to the liner & interior. I'm sure you'll get more opinions. Good luck, Al.

A repainted German helmet does not command high prices.

Shame, as it looks like an honest M40. It may be possible to remove the paint, but as stated re-paints do not command high prices
It depends on how much is being asked for it?

How much they ask for it?

Re: WWII german Helmet should I buy?
The seller was asking $350 or best offer.

Yea, $350 is FAR too expensive for a poorly attempted restoration! As someone above has said, it's probably a good honest piece, but it would have been better left untouched... i.e. in relic condition.
It's probably worth not much more than $100
