Wow that is fairly thin. How thick was an original german helmet? And where could I find a better reproduction helmet? Preferably thicker Haha.

If you don't mind my asking... What are you planning to do with the helmet?

I only ask because we may be able to help steer you in the right direction if we know what you need it for.

[General Patton]

Well, I guess what you would call it is a "fantasy" helmet. I've always wanted a snow camo medic helmet, and those are almost non existent. But I want a quality replica not a chinese piece of junk. So it would be a conversation piece I guess, personal use as well, I would never sell it as an original if your worried.

The best quality "repro" that you could get would be a refurbished original shell. Try Ken N. at http://www.germanhelmetsinc.com/index

[General Patton]

I didn't think of that, I think a refurbished shell would be the way to go. I take it they are all authentic considering his reputation. Would I have to strip away the black paint from the helmet?

[ObKrieger]

No, I think that they come repainted and assembled with all of the right repro parts.

I need a size 68 and Kens site sells them for over $250 so ill check ebay for one. This seller has a few of these types of helmets up for auction. Are the shells authentic? I know the paint isn't but it doesn't matter. If I can get it cheap it would be worth it. Is any of it real?
